What was silly in January was the thought of KC trading up for him. It remains silly. :-)
Yes - it was always silly, I'll concede that for sure.
I keep seeing Chase to Cincy bc of the Burrow/LSU chemistry, which has me thinking he could slip a spot or two.
I'd definitely understand why ATL would take him, but at the same time, I feel like it would be earrings on a pig since they have so many other needs.

I've seen the speculation but Chase makes absolutely zero sense for Cincy. They already have Higgins and Boyd at WR plus they have an OC that loves running 12P and Drew Sample hasn't exactly lit the world on fire through 2 seasons. Pitts is a far more valuable pick for them than Chase.
If they don't go Pitts, Sewell makes more sense than Chase. While they already have the 11th overall pick in Jonah Williams at LT, he did miss his rookie year to a torn labrum and then missed half a dozen games last year to a knee injury. They signed Reilly Reiff to play RT and could kick him to LT if injury struck again, but they may very well decide to kick Williams down inside and roll with Sewell instead at LT.
As for Atlanta, agreed. The best thing they can do is trade down and gain more picks. So many holes defensively.
