1. So the 17 Teams picking ahead of the Bengals have enough rookie #1 options not to want TEE even when some Teams may
see TEE as a better #1 option than the rookie available when they pick -and-
2. if the Bengals Trade TEE for a lower 1st round pick they will be competing against those lower Teams for receivers, so why do it.
*1. I agree that it would be harder to get a 1st round pick higher than the Bengals pick #18 but just where would 1st round pick interest in TEE
end (does interest end at pick #22 or pick #16) and swapping first round picks while also getting later picks would be possible if a Team likes
TEE more as a #1 option than the rookies available when they pick.
*2. Once the Bengals get a later 1st round pick for TEE they could still use their own pick #18 to take a receiver and end the "competition"
to get a 1st round receiver with all of the Teams picking after pick #18.
(Then the Bengals could use the late 1st round pick they got for TEE on another position)
(or they could use pick #18 at another position and then use the later round one pick on a receiver since all they need is a #2 receiver, not a #1)
*I just don't see it as wise to assume options off the table*
