March Mock

I understand that sentiment, but...
1) Nick Scott signed a 3-year deal, so he's going to be the starter.
2) The Bengals have multiple returners on their roster already, including re-signing Taylor, which is why I didn't take one with the 7th pick. If I did, it'd be Nikko Remigio, WR Fresno St.
3) I guess I have a different opinion on Johnson than you when it comes to his talent, but regardless I wanted someone in the 4th round that I felt could pass block, catch the ball, and run. I didn't see many options in the draft class that could do that. He isn't as fast as I'd like, but he's faster than Perine and most importantly he can block and catch. If you got someone better in mind for Day 3 who can run, block, and pass protect, I'd be curious to hear who it is. I might switch up my mock.
