That's the thing, you're not talking about signing a starting caliber WR as opposed to signing a starting caliber T.  You're talking traditional Bengals C tier FA vs an A tier.  600 yards makes you a "good" starter?  You know 74 guys had 600+ receiving yards last year, right?

That is the single worst draft philosophy I've ever heard.  WJIII was a wasted pick?  Jonah Williams was a wasted pick?  If you're saying a draft pick is wasted if it doesn't increase your win total year one, then you're playing checkers in a chess game.  Plus I already showed you how statistically how it's unlikely a T at 5 is a significant upgrade in year one, which is exactly your definition of a "wasted pick.". You draft OL hoping to groom them so they'll be good starters in a year or two.  You don't draft them looking for an immediate upgrade to fix your line.  

Since when do we need a WR #1??

This team has two high caliber starting WR's and that is the issue with the team??!?


At this point, I just see no point in discussing this anymore. You are in the boat with people who are like Al Davis. Get weapons, and more weapons and ooooohhh.. he runs a 4.2 draft him (Al Davis would have lost it over John Ross). Meanwhile, I've seen really good QBs win playoff games with excellent offensive lines, stout defenses and 1 real threat at WR. (Ravens have 1 legit WR. Browns did better without OBJ, and only one big time WR in Landry, Buffalo has Diggs and .... yeah... how many years was Brady throwing to guys that were cast offs, Green Bay has Adams and then... yup no one.)

So, I hope you get the toy at 5, and then when we pick top 5 in 2022, maybe we'll start re-thinking what is important since drafting another WR early when you already have 2 good ones has worked well for Atlanta, and the Lions and etc, etc.
