Right, that's my point. Quite often we see at least a good amount of first and second round WRs contributing well as rookies. That's what Davis is, a first-round talent. He's not some mid-round guy that is raw and ran a tiny route tree. And people also need to quit treating the MAC like it's FCS. The MAC is far better than FCS, and Davis was able to post elite stats against his competition as a whole every single year.

I can understand that Davis might not be an elite WR out of the gate, but he should be able to contribute enough to have an impact.

Besides, the Bengals have done enough in FA to cover all their bases in terms of needing to fill an immediate hole. Their starters are set whether we agree with them or not.
Any draft picks (even first rounders) are going to start out as depth players with the intent of them taking over as starters down the road. So the question is more what player will be the best 2-3 years from now? Because that's when the Bengals are going to try to use them the most.
