How does probable Tee tag change our draft thinking

[*ochocincos*]

Higgins is the 8th Bengal to be tagged in the last two decades.
Bengals have not extended a tagged player in that time span other than Mike Nugent over a decade ago.

So my gut feel is whether Higgins is traded or not, Bengals will prepare for a new WR to take his spot by 2025.
As such, I think WR is definitely on the table early in this year's draft, possibly even 1st round based on who is available at 18.
