I'm not knocking Boyd or Higgins. I actually think both of them are undervalued by most fans here. I simply enjoy pointing out that we had to draft Chase since the WR room was just so bad (pre-draft ).... but now... it's magically all better. It wasn't a need, it was a pick to distract the casual fan from the team not being competitive, Taylor still being the coach, the Brown family still doing Brown family things. But, it's all good. At least the Bengals will score points right.
If the Bengals just wanted to make fans happy they'd have drafted Sewell.
The casual fan hasn't kept up with how the NFL has changed: they just assume it is the same game they grew up with. The casual fan thinks nothing has changed as Taylor is still the coach, the Brown family still doing Brown family things and that the only thing that matters in the draft was drafting Sewell in the first round. If you'd asked any casual fan what was the Bengals' main need was to a man they'd have answered O-line. They probably wouldn't have distinguished between guard and tackle, they just knew the Bengals needed to get better up front. They probably wouldn't have thought that a WR was required because Higgins and Boyd are good right?
