Sanu and Keenan Allen are two very accurate ceilings for him, and both were 3rd round players themselves. Hence why others and I thought the pick was a reach. 

As far as the offense not skipping a beat, we've no one outside of maybe Core who can replicate Jones's role, so, not sure about that.

It would be ironic if Boyd (2nd rounder) replaced Sanu (3rd rounder) and Core (5th rounder) replaced MLJ (5th rounder) and, again, the later round draft pick outperforms the earlier one.

I like Core a lot, but I really, really liked MLJ.  Not just because of his speed, but I liked that he seemed to always come out when the situation was the most important.  However, I think a great deal of his success can be attributed to the coverage focus for AJ and, last year anyway, Tyler Eifert.  

I am very excited that the Bengals, again, have young talent in the WR corps.  I can't wait to see how it plays out and I am pulling for Alford to be utilized in some packages to utilize his vertical speed.
