Look in the Draft forum and you'll see numerous posters who didn't think we needed to draft a WR because we had Core.  That's right, we didn't need a WR because we've got a guy who averaged 25 yards a game and hasn't scored an NFL TD, yet.  That's overrated, imo.

Malone isn't a clone of Core.  If he was, he wouldn't have been drafted in the 4th.  He has better hands, better deep speed, and is much better after the catch, while Core is stronger and more physical.  Everyone knows the Bengals were targeting a deep threat in the 1st last year, and took Boyd in the 2nd because they desperately needed a #3 WR.  No, if they were that sold on Boyd and especially Core, they wouldn't have taken Ross and Malone in their first 5 picks.
