Last year, Passing TDs were down because Eifert and Green only played in 4 games together all season.

TE, OL, LB were much larger priorities of need than WR.

Agreed.
People argued against TE because Eifert, but there's no guarantee he will re-sign or even stay healthy. I was very much in favor of an early-round TE.
OL as a whole was weak this year in the draft, and we know the Bengals undervalue interior OL to the point they don't want to spend a high round pick on one. This team needs to invest in OL next year, and if they don't, that's on them.
LB I think was actually was decently addressed, but maybe not the right way. Minter was, at this point, just a 1-year stopgap. We don't know if he'll be re-signed. Burfict may not get extended. If both leave, there's definitely a need there.

With that said, John Ross was a good addition for a future pick since LaFell was a stopgap and it also adds some speed.
