I'm not a huge fan of Jaxon Smith-Njigba for Cincy especially with their first round pick. It's not because its I don't want another receiver it's because I think he's Tyler Boyd and like to see them get a guy with a little more boundary versatility.
JSN was pure slot when OSU had Wilson & Olave. He hardly played this year, but would have been outside more. He MAY have it. He's not tiny. But he is WAY more explosive than Boyd.
Jefferson went late 1st because people thought he was slot only. I think JSN is the most explosive WR in the draft, easily. Like you, I'd prefer a bigger guy who can play outside. But 6-4 guys with productivity & blazing speed don't last to 28th. Where we pick, a guy likely is missing something (size, speed, production vs top competition, production, route diversity). Boyd, Taylor, & Chase can all play in the slot. Then again, Highins, Chase, & Irwin can all play outside. We have no deep speed outside of Chase, and JSN has it. Boyd is out of contract next year, too. A year to figure out what JSN can do would help us make decisions going forward. And a year with all four would be hella-fun.
