As for the those saying the Bengals made a bad pick that will never see the field in two years, why is there an assumption that the Bengals will extend both DreK and Dennard? If both play well over the next two years, the Bengals won't be able to afford both. If either struggles, WJ3 is there to try to pick up the slack.
Plus now the Bengals have a clear fill-in at CB without much worry of drop off in talent. CB is one of the most-often injured positions, so there's actually a decent chance WJ3 could play some defense as a rookie.

The Broncos had clear good vet CBs in Talib and Harris yet went out and drafted Roby. It worked out pretty well for them last year. Hopefully the same happens for the Bengals.

somehow i forgot all about shaw and he was solid last year... excellent
