Hilton and Tate are both over 30 and have been declining for a couple of years now.

Watkins can't stay healthy, and even in a KC offense that threw for 4,700 yards in 2019, he still only managed 673 yards and 3 TD's in 14 games played.

JuJu isn't that good and he's a douche nozzle.  I'd legitimately rather have John Ross than him just based on principle.

Renyolds, Conley and Snead are all pretty much bums.

I don't see a single name you can build off of.  But that's ok even if we don't get Golladay.  I'd just look at filling the 3rd WR spot with our 1st or 2nd pick.  They'll be younger, they'll be cheaper, and they'll be somebody who we can build around Joe.

Just my opinion...

The Bengals don't need an elite receiver though. They arguably have their WR1 and WR2, both of whom are basically 1000+ yard guys. They just need a WR3, someone who can get 600+ yards. Any of the guys listed can do that. Regardless, getting a WR in FA helps allow the Bengals to instead take a WR in middle rounds and develop for a year (or two) vs having to get one in Rd 1 or 2.
