And if so, it will be important for fans to remember that Jones wasn't much of a contributor until his second year. People shouldn't have false hope that a 5th round WR is going to come in and contribute much on offense as a rookie. Especially with Boyd, Ross, and Malone all ahead on the depth chart. A 5th round rookie would be competing with Core/Erickson (most likely Core) for the final roster spot and will have to work his way up the depth chart within a year or two.

As for DT, which DT gets bounced in favor of what I believe you are implying is a 4th rounder or higher? I don't see Bengals rolling with 5 DTs, that's not their style. Atkins obviously isn't going anywhere. They signed Baker for a reason, so I'd be shocked to see them cut him. Glasgow and Billings essentially have only played their rookie seasons so I doubt the Bengals would drop one of them so quickly.

From what I could see Billings had the harder time maintaining his gap and staying on his feet.

But yeah, someone will have to go.   If they go with someone like Payne or Hurst (which I don't think they will), either Billings, Glascow or Baker will have to go.
