Our #1 WR got hurt and Lafell was apparently hurt too. Boyd didnt run away with the opportunity. Michael Thomas took it and made the Saints #1 WR Cooks tradeable.

My point of the first round pick getting minimal playing time was refering to our glut at CB. Dennard or WJ3 or hell maybe both if Shaw gets even better will barely see playing time. 

I dont buy the concept the Bengals draft BPA. They draft for future needs. Ogbuehi and Fisher were picked because Andre and Whit had contracts ending. WJ3 was picked because Kirk had a contract ending. We are planning to much for the future and not enough on winning now.

You can't compare Jackson to Thomas   Jackson was in line to be our top 3 CBs and got hurt,and now look at our CB situation  thank god we drafted Jackson , Jones probably suspended, Dennard underperforming we would really be thin at CB this year without drafting Jackson,  everyone passed on Thomas in 1st round and like i pointed out   put Boyd with Saints last year and not sure much difference with their stats
