Well, that's what those words mean. He was here. If they don't keep him, he will have been lost/subtracted. I headed out the door today with two shoes on my feet. If I don't return with them, I have lost them. If I do return with them, I haven't added them. ---M2

Malik Wright (who seems pretty plugged in) says he's 95% sure the pick will be Chase.
The uniform reveal will be Monday.

As I've been saying. Glad to see it confirmed.

Random draft quote from an experienced top evaluator: “This draft is unprecedented in its sheer number of really good slot WRs.” Last year’s WR class was deep, but more outside guys. This year, it’s top inside guys.

I subscribe to Matt Miller's venture that he launched after he left Bleacher Report. He released his scouting summary on Chase today. He hasn't released one on Sewell yet that I have seen. I am pasting the summary of Chase here, and will do same for Sewell when/if he releases those notes. This captures the argument for Chase really well, IMO...
Strengths: Chase is the ideal combination of body control, strength, physicality, speed and overall athleticism. Despite not having elite height, he’s a monster in traffic because he’s strong enough to out-position defenders and has elite vertical jump skills. Against SEC defenders in 2019, before he opted out of the 2020 season, Chase showed the speed to separate over the top of defenses (see Florida and Alabama games) when facing man coverage. He’s a WR1 from Day 1 on an NFL team. In 2019, as a 19-year-old, Chase scored 20 touchdowns and won the Fred Biletnikoff Award as the nation’s best receiver. He is scheme-proof and can fit into any role playing outside and inside receiver.
Weaknesses: There isn’t much to write here. Chase isn’t amazing in terms of open-field quickness and elusiveness. That might be it.
What I Love: Few wide receiver prospects combine Chase’s physicality, aggressiveness and athleticism. He’s super-aggressive and competitive but also has the speed to blow past defenders. He’s rare.

Not really into grade school football philosophy...the best player plays Quarterback, anyone else that's good goes out for a pass, and all the scrubs block.
Give me Sewell or pick up a pick or three, trade down a few spots and grab Slater.
