This also has emphasised the tackle position even more with the increase in passing, just look at Top End FA tackles are commanding...
According to literally every football metric... and PFF, NO, an exceptional OT is NOT more important, nor harder to draft, than an exceptional WR.
A great Tackle or Guard, especially in THIS draft, will be availableilavle in rounds 2 & 3. NOT the same w WR.
Let's face it. The Bengals have 2 major needs: WR & O line. WR is wildly evident since they had next to ZERO threats ON the outside the last 3 seasons that AJ Green has stunk.
They NEED both spots. WR is the more shallow spot in this draft. THAT is where they should go w the first pick.
