No we shouldn't. First we only had 7 picks to begin with, so trading up was not an option. Second, why use a 1st round pick on a complimentary player? The 3 best WRs are all good enough to want to be #1 WRs in the NFL. They won't be that here. And Just like Marvin Jones, as soon as their contract was up, they would want to go somewhere else to be a #1 WR. So we would have traded away picks to rent a guy for 4 or 5 seasons. And the way the Bengals limit rookie play, that means they would likely have been a starter for only 3 or 4 seasons before leaving.
