And with how much WR is costing for a good one nowadays, I can easily see the Bengals making the selection from a cost savings perspective.
With Chase getting a big contract next season likely, Bengals might want the rest of the offensive weapons to be on the cheaper side but still needing to be effective.

With that said, this does look to be a pretty good WR draft so I do think they can find a starter-caliber WR who would only need a year or less to groom by the end of Rd 3, which would allow them to still go trenches in first two rounds if they wanted.
