What do you want to do with AJ Green?

I think if Mims is there at #33, they take him.  He reminds me of Green, Higgins does too but Higgins cannot handle physical CB.  When I watched the OSU Clemson game, Higgins was handled.  As deep as the WR class appears this year, I think the Bengals are looking for a specific type of WR.  I don't know outside of Mims if there is one that will be available at #33.  I do see them selecting Aiyuk in round 3 to replace Ross.  But then it comes down to Aiyuk or a much higher need in linebacker or getting one of those stud safeties in Dugger or Chinn in round 3.  Bengals need another draft pick in round 3-4.  

With you on Green...that's why I did the poll...wanted to see if the board would sway me one way or the other.  And as much as I like Reager, I think you are right that it is likely one of the Z receiver types.  I wouldn't give up on Higgins so quickly, though.  He was going against a top 5 CB in this year's draft and he is still a pretty amazing athlete.  Mims, Higgins, Shenault, and (later) Claypool and Pittman all fit that mold.  My latest mock had the Bengals sliding to the middle or Rd 2, drafting Claypool, and gaining an early third rounder which I used on a LB.  The other 3rd rounder I used on the safety as you mentioned.  Then, in the 4th, I got the RG from LSU, Lewis. 

WR in Rd 2 will be very interesting as there will be a lot of teams (or so I think) wanting to trade up to get "their guy" at #33...I hope the Bengals are flexible and will move off a guy like Jefferson to get a guy like Claypool AND Malik Jefferson the next round.
