Trey Hopkins, Undrafted rated 35th out of 39 Cs
Quinton Spain, Undrafted rated 26th out of 82 LGs
Jonah Williams, 1st rounder rated 25th out of 83 LTs


All the while paying $10M per year for a 4 catch per game slot receiver and $11M per year for a good RB but Chiefs & Rams neither pay RBs more than $2M.

Yep.

Many of us said back when Mixon signed his deal that the team needs to be much more run focused if they're going to sign a RB to that much.
We wanted another OL signed with that money and draft a RB.


With Boyd, we were fine with that contract as long as Boyd would have remained WR2 to justify it. Bengals had AJ Green and John Ross at the time too, but it was expected that at least one of them was going to leave once they hit FA. The addition of Higgins just helped that.
It was the addition of Chase that inevitably bumped Boyd down the pecking order.
