Considering Decker has 3 more years, after this one. So Sewel isn't going to LT any time soon. Strange pick.

Yup, just didn't make any sense...unless they were unhappy with Decker, and that obviously wasn't the issue.

I like Horn, and Sewell may turn out to be hugely overhyped, but man, I was drooling.

On the up side, it gave us something to complain about on the huddle. soooo....

That was a jail break.  Sewell's guy was one of three who met at the QB.  The guy who really got beat like a drum was the RG and the QB couldn't step up into the pocket...thus both edge rushers were able to get home as well.

He's raw as hell and didn't play last year.

They clearly thought they could remould him into a RT so they could have bookend OTs.

So one minute this fan base complains because we don’t value OTs enough but then make fun of the Lions for drafting one when it isn’t their top need. 

OTs are hard to find, OTs are expensive, OTs are important, I won’t fault a team for drafting a guy that a lot of people considered the one they drafted a generational talent at that position.

You can find a WR later, think about it, even if you are willing to spend big in free agency there isn’t a guarantee you can find a very good OT.  Most years there are several quality receivers on the market.

No doubt. And as soon as Sewell gets used to the NFL, Decker is top 10-15 type value in any trade.

You don’t even have to trade him.  Decker is under contract for 4 more years, Sewell is cheap for 4 years.  Once Deckers contract is up you pay Sewell and hope you have a new rookie to fill the other tackle spot.  
you keep both OT spots strong and you are only having to pay one big contract.  It is how every team should be doing it.

    • Teams do some super stupid stuff with mid-fairly good QBs. I think they are just absolutely terrified they will be stuck with a QB that is not the quality of the QB they have now, even if its someone like Daniel Jones. Lots of trash QBs go in the first round. I encourage you to take a look at the sad, sad list of first round QBs in the last 15 years.  
    • No, it will be a raw 6'7" 17-year-old European who just played basketball for the first time in March and who the idiot GM "had first on our board." He'll play the whole G-League season, get in 42 games for the Hornets and average 1.1 ppg on 35% shooting. Been there, seen that.
    • We missed on Burns at his peak value. That’s the problem with trading for picks 2-3 years away (which people were convinced the Rams would suck by now and these would be higher picks btw). Each year away the pick is the further in value it drops. Fitt was clearly hired based on turning us around quickly. It’s one of the many reasons tanking isn’t really a thing as our player JJ is telling you in this original article. It would take the whole organization from the owners down admitting they aren’t winning soon with Burns and picks 2-3 years away having more value because that’s when we are still rebuilding. It would only make sense if Fitt had a longer leash and would more than likely be the ones making these picks anyway which you wouldn’t want. The question is would you rather have those Rams picks with the strong possibility of Fitt still being here or would you rather Fitt try to “win now” like he did and expedite his firing? Altering the timeline would affect more than just the Rams picks.
