-In Bengals offense the #3 WR is basically a starter and we often run 4 WR sets.

So I still see a big hole in our offense at the #4 WR position.  Are there any decent free agents still out there? Are there any likely to be released post draft?  I wouldn't count on an UDFA to contribute this year, but are there any decent ones out there we could sign for depth?

It will probably be matchup based with Tate, Thomas, and Morgan. I think Morgan carved out a roll for himself with his special teams play last year. Thomas and Tate could be fighting for a 5th game day active spot. Three guys who have been around the block but are young with something to prove fighting for that 4th spot. Can't have it all. That is a decent situation to have behind the best trio in the league.

Darius Phillips and Brandon Wilson get my vote for all return duties. Trayveon and Captain America should be catching punts and kicks to increase their value as well.
