Also love Dugger and Chinn as 3rd round small school studs to replace Williams.  People point to Williams' s respectable PFF numbers and say he is a good player, but he gets targeted more than Dre K it would seem and is a huge liability in coverage.  I want an instinctive freak at SS that can make plays all over the field.  

As far as WR goes, if the Bengals are thinking of replacing Ross, it could be Reagor.  I think they go for a more versatile WR like Jefferson, Mims, or Higgins.  My dark horse is Chase Claypool.  Look at the absolute DOG that was Deebo Samuel for the SF 49ers.  I think Claypool is that kind of guy.  Doesn't have phone-booth quicks, but is a huge catch radius, and gets the tough yards when needed.  If they slide in Rd 2, watch for Claypool...Oh, and the dude is a fierce blocker.  Team seems to have an emphasis on this (finally).

My thinking is that Mims or Jefferson at 33 or they will go Mckinney as a hybrid backer, or Josh Jones or Cleveland.  They really need a guard now and OT.  No one knows how Williams will work out and Hart is , well Hart.  So I think WR is maybe round 3 in Aiyuk who will eventually replace Ross unless he can catch and stay healthy.  They must extend Green but I am preparing myself for the Bengals to find a 4rd day Gem at WR in Kendricks, Reed or T. Cleveland.  

Bengals need two backers, OT, Guard, QB, and at least one safety.  It would be great to give Burrow Jefferson, but also be great to fix the OL.  Muse is one of my Favorites.  Chinn and Dugger will have to be round 3 picks.  I think Bengals will have to get a backer in round 3 unless Queen is there at 33.
