We are in desperate need of speed at the WR postion, someone who can stretch the field.  I don't think this guy is the answer to that. 

His current market value projects to be 6 million dollars.  Does this team, with all of it's holes, have the luxury of dropping that type of coin on a player who is basically a shittier version of Tee Higgins?

Either spend that money elsewhere and draft a WR, or at least spend it on a WR that fills our needs better.

That market value seems a little high to me. Where did you see that?

Also, I think speed may be a bit overrated for this offense. Speed won't help if Burrow can't hit the guy in stride. And they had a guy with speed they could have used but chose not to. Likely it was because he was unreliable. I just think someone with size, hands, and "enough" speed/leaping ability to get open is really what's going to be more successful for the Bengals offense.

Josh Reynolds has the right size (6'3") tp stay outside and enough speed (4.52) too. He's faster than both Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd. They don't HAVE to have a guy who runs 4.45 or faster.
