Former Bengals Great Gives His Thoughts on Penei Sewell and Ja'Marr Chase Debate

Another Bengals legend weighs in on Sewell vs Chase

CINCINNATI — Former Bengals players like Anthony Muñoz, Tim McGee and Willie Anderson think Cincinnati should take Oregon offensive lineman Penei Sewell with the fifth pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Others believe that selecting LSU star wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase at No. 5 is the way to go. 

Former Bengals star receiver Cris Collinsworth weighed in on the debate when he had Joe Burrow on his podcast earlier this week. 

"I kind of like Ja'Marr in this situation because I feel like you got with Tyler (Boyd) and Tee (Higgins), you've got two guys that can control the middle of the field," Collinsworth told Burrow. "If you just had that take the top off kind of guy, you might start being in those games where you have to score 30 points to win."

Collinsworth praised Kyle Pitts, Sewell and Chase, but believes the latter will help Burrow the most. 

"You really can't go wrong," Burrow said. "There's so many great options. That's the perk of picking so high and not being a very good team."

While most Bengals legends seem to be on "Team Sewell," Collinsworth is certainly in favor of adding Chase to the mix with the fifth pick.
