Yep...and tbh Higgins doesn't NEED as much separation because he's elite at contested catches.


Exactly. The pro-Chase crowd wants to make it into an overall separation issue because that makes the need seem bigger than it really is. You can get a Chris Henry style WR (whose purpose is take the top off the defense, but not necessarily to be a WR1 or even WR2) later in the draft.

In order to justify Chase at 5, they need to make it seem like Higgins and Boyd are incapable players and all routes are being affected by lack of separation.


Anquan Boldin didnt have any of those things and was much better than Mo Sanu. Heck, Higgins rookie season smoked anything Sanu ever did.

If you want to compare though, what weapons were on that team with Sanu?  You had Marvin Jones, AJ Green, Tyler Eiffort, and Jermaine Gresham in 2014.  So lets compare those to the weapons the Bengals had in 2020.  So equal to AJ Green I guess maybe we can say Tyler Boyd?  So who are we goign to say is equal to Marvin Jones? Maybe Tate?  I mean can we say Sample is equal to Eiffort or Gresham?  

If you look at what the QB had to throw to last year I'm actually shocked Higgins didnt have more than 1,000 yards.  The receiving corp was him and Boyd...that's it.   Sanu didnt have the numbers Higgins did because of the talent around him and the numbers were spread out.
