The bills got a very good pass rusher

Sewell became entirely overrated from the moment he decided not to play in 2020 and enter the draft. From that point on his legend just grew out of draftnik fanboys. The further removed from the field he became, the better he got. I believe generational talent was the word I often heardā¦
However, the facts were that he had no experience in vertical pass sets and had no real body count to speak of on his extremely short resume. I argued these points in the draft forum the better part of 8 months. I liked the Radunz kid out of North Dakota St. better.

Well I donāt know about that. Weāll see. Actually what Iād say is he wonāt be as good as you said he would be.
Just breaking down that one rep - Sewell was late with his hands and didnāt even try to punch until after heād already allowed Rousseau to make first contact. Strike one.
In doing so, he also immediately gave up his chest and allowed the defender to place his hands inside instead of vice versa. With Sewellās hands on the outside, the best he couldāve done there was hold and draw a flag. Strike two.
Lastly, all Rousseau really did was bull rush him. The only move I told you he had to begin with. Sewell allowed him to transition to the long arm in order to get around him because he was so off balance by that point. Again, it just goes back to Sewellās inexperience with true vertical pass sets.
Had Rousseau shown something on the play that I hadnāt already said he was capable of against an overrated tackle, Iād probably be more inclined to go down the road you wish to take it down. I just donāt believe that to be the case here.
My view is that this particular rep illustrates my initial concerns with Sewell more than any indication of a misevaluation with regards to Rousseau.
Although it wouldnāt surprise me to see him rack up 3 or 4 sacks a game against whatever stiff the dolphins end up lining up at right tackle. Iād say you probably have that to look forward to at minimum as a proponent of Rousseau.

He got pigeonholed as just guy who could move inside and get a sack
He's much more than that is all i'm saying

Maybe, I doubt it. It certainly wasnāt indicated on his one season of college tape. Iāve seen it all and I somewhat know what Iām looking at. But Iām always willing to learn more.
Another $100 bill should do the trick if youāre up for it. You seem pretty confident. Iām always willing to bet on myself.
Actually as Iām sitting here looking closer at this game, Carlos Basham (1st round player on my board) was lining up inside a lot and blowing by the Lions right tackle on stunts like he wasnāt even there. Good player.

Honestly, Sewell is a guard playing tackle in my opinion. Heās always been a guard until he got to Oregon. He was 350 pounds in high school.
Iāve always expected Sewell to struggle at tackle in the NFL. I donāt think itās a mirage.
He may have been a generational talent according to the local sportswriters for a program like Oregon. Not a generational talent for any program. Heās not Chris Samuels or Evan Neal. But Iāve spoken these words around here for a long time and never even so much as made a dent in the narrative. Onward we go.

As I recall, he got a lot of hype here in Utah as the next big thing (figuratively & literally). I did not understand then & don't now
Not to slight the University of Nike, but, Utah & Byu do a better job at churning out next level OL
I'm not made about not drafting Sewell, but Austin Jackson definitely has worse game tape from today.
I would bench him and start Eichenberg at LT, Jackson looked terrible.

Sewell looks big and fat but doesn't have any anchor and doesn't seem to have any mass when he hits people. Half-as-big Steelers linebackers were blowing him up, not just Greg Rousseau. Eichenberg looked far better at RT.
