It’s really important to have a strategy each year when you draft because they are so different. When they looked at the depth of talent at these 2 positions, the offensive line depth runs much deeper than what the bengals were looking for, which was a true #1 WR. Look at the receivers now, the 2 that people are looking at has had a bunch of injuries and one that looks like a potentially good receiver. The top 5 drafters in the 2nd, how many of those teams are looking for a receiver? How many are looking to draft offensive line?
There are at least 14 offensive linemen who are capable of starting day 1 for the bengals in the 2nd alone.
The receivers, outside Elijah and Rondale Moore and Terrace Marshall who is sliding because of injuries, might be #1, but probably better as #2 or 3 guys, Tee Higgins is a good player, but really only a fringe #1or a low end #1. He will be an elite #2, and Chase is already our best receiver right now, think about that.
This is how I felt about the pick for about a month. You gotta understand I really wanted Sewell, however the drop off at receiver is steep after Toney and Bateman. It’s a pill I swallowed a while ago and understood the rationale.
But tonight? Tonight I hope to add 600lbs of mass to our team, and hopefully cut a few terrible linemen afterwards
