How is Sewell at 3 not a no brainer?

[NJ Dolphan]

I get WR is a need, but outside of a few contrarians, everyone seems to agree that Sewell is at least perennial Pro Bowler at a premier position if he’s healthy.

Go look at the history of WRs drafted in the top ten over the past fifteen years, and it’s not encouraging. Add the fact that Smith dominated at Alabama in a COVID year, would make me real hesitant to draft him at 3. Grier can always trade up from 16 to get a WR he likes given the two second rounders.

Good points can be made for either argument.

This team is starving for playmakers, so naturally we want a sexy pick at 3.

I think if we stay at 3 he’s the pick, but I don’t think we will stay at 3.

Sewell, Smith or Chase I can see at #3 or any other spot if they are available when Miami picks.

The argument for a WR would be seeing the impact Diggs had on Allen this season and AJ Brown had on Tannehill the season before.

I can see Smith and Chase betting impact players worthy of #3. But never know how a career will unfold.

Diggs was obviously a known quantity. And I think Derrick Henry had a much bigger impact on Tannehill than AJ Brown.

Has Sewell stayed in shape? I dunno does anyone else know? 2021 NFL Combine is cancelled, and the NFL banned private workouts, facility visits with draft prospects. The dolphins have needed better receivers for many years. Healthy or not! Parker has had a hamstring issues since drafted! P. Williams is made of glass! Our best WR the last 10 - 20 years was Juice! When did we have a dominate 1 or 2? It's been ages... ages...

This takes and arguments about not taking a receiver early over a left tackle do not hold up under scrutiny at all...

We drafted a left tackle with upside in the first round last year. Drafting Sewell over Smith and Chase makes zero sense from a roster composition standpoint. This team lacks sufficient playmakers on the outside. It needs to be addressed with as close to sure things as possible. For you qb’s sake

Go look at the offensive lines of the 4 championship teams this year, and tell me why we need to have an OL full of first rounders

Jake Long bring back memories?

 

[Sunbro Solaire]

Argument can be made for both, I think Center is the bigger need on the offensive line.

I doubt Miami will use 2 top 50 picks on O-line again after using (2) last year.

 

[circumstances]

if you can't trade down and sewell is still there, i think he is the pick at this point.

i don't think we are staying at three, though.

 

[rafael]

Even if I weren't considering any position other than OL, Sewell wouldn't be a no-brainer. I have Slater on his same level and Slater offers more positional flexibility.

I think Tannehill had a bigger impact on Aj Brown.

What offense is the OC running?
Sewell for power run.
Smith for air it out.
If you get Sewell at 3 and a stuff rb with our other 1st round pick, you've got a great combo.
