True but a 4th or 5th draft prospect at his position is many times a starter in the NFL. Plus it will be the same at WR, Pierce will not be in the top few WR's taken either, CBS has him at the 16th best WR and ranks him at 133 overall. Not saying that's gospel, but still. 

A WR is not going to start for the Bengals unless somebody is traded or injured as well. Our #3 did not even have a dropped pass until his 21st game of the season and that was his only drop on the year. Just don't see it as a big need this year, but next year I can maybe see an early WR taken.

Not saying I don't hope the Bengals add a great WR, but think 31 is too early to jump with other needs glaring imho. Think there possibly will be a good WR vet released in camp that may want to chase a ring on a one year team friendly deal that would work perfectly too. Yet do think the Bengals draft a WR and maybe two if they gamble take them late in the draft.
