Just wondering what I am missing on Josh Doctson? I have watched every piece of film I can find on him and do not see his downside. His build and tenacity remind me much of, do I dare say it, Chad Johnson. Sure he needs to clean up route running but that can be stated of virtually every WR coming out of college.

Yes I know the history of the Bengals is to take the WR high in the first or outside of he first but I have to say I would not be upset if he was the selection at 24. I do not think receiver is a must for us and I as well would have no problem with a NT type DT or CB, however, I would not mind the Doctson selection at all.

What do you draft junkies think?

I watched his workouts at the combine. He showed great hands.

The only knock I've heard about him is the system he played in allowed him to get off the line easily and there's some concern about his ability to handle press coverage. But frankly you can coach technique for that. You can't coach great hands.

For a guy who will be brought along at a nice pace there's really no reason to not select him at 24. I really just don't think he'll be there.
