Im a Duck and hate the Washington Huskies with a passion but I love this pick. UW is one of the best schools in the country at putting DB talent into the NFL.
Penei's "little" brother Noah also turned a lot of high school kids in Utah into grease spots. Too bad there arent anymore Sewell's in the pipeline. Each version seems to be better than the previous.
If Sewell falls to 7 I could see the Chargers moving up to draft him. Maybe Detroit would prefer to just drop one spot to get the same player but add a 3rd from us or something. Imagine Burns vs. Sewell in practice every day. Iron sharpens iron.
I think Darnold is likely a bust and we shouldnt have given up more than a 3rd. With that said, this wont prevent from drafting or trading for a QB next year and frees up our hand to select Sewell if he falls.
You could be right. Lions seem like a real wildcard. They could go chalk and take Pitts/Sewell or they could take a WR or go defense or trade down with someone trying to get ahead of us for the 5th QB.
Yeah I agree with this. This is one of those stats that needs human analysis to draw any conclusions. Herbert threw screens and check downs because Oregon had no NFL talent at WR or TE and one of the greatest screen game LT's you will ever see in Sewell.
Teddy had an above average WR corp but threw check downs because he doesnt trust his arm and being a gun slinger isnt his mentality.
