I'll just leave this here.

Quote:The LSU Bengals: Tackle Penei Sewell was still on the board when the Bengals picked fifth overall, but that doesn't diminish my love of their ultimate selection of LSU receiver Ja'Marr Chase. It's not all about the connection between QB Joe Burrow (last year's No. 1 overall pick) and Chase, his former college teammate, although that doesn't hurt. It's about how special a prospect Chase is.
I'd argue there hasn't been as complete and revered a wideout prospect since Julio Jones in 2011. Sewell is a nice player, too, but he is not at that level, regardless of positional value. And it's not like the Bengals have ignored tackle! They drafted Jonah Williams No. 11 overall in 2019 and signed Riley Reiff, a solid enough NFL starter, this offseason. They will surely add to the offensive line later in a deep draft at the position.
This should be the most exciting Bengals offense since Chad Ochocinco, T.J. Houshmandzadeh and Chris Henry were catching passes from Carson Palmer. Last year's second-round pick, Tee Higgins, is an incredible deep threat and already plays like a star. Tyler Boyd is one of the best slot receivers in the league. I can't think of a more promising young receiver trio.

That's a surprise isn't often the Bengals get praise from Greg Rosenthal...

This comment is really a disrespect to the mid-2010's with Green, Jones, Sanu, and Eifert.
They were so much better than some national media were willing to give them credit for all because Dalton was the QB.
I swear, people are giving Taylor way too much faith that he's going to turn this team into some offensive juggernaut just because Chase was added. They are going to have all the talent in the world but still fall short of some people's expectations because of lackluster playcalling.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.
Sorry for Party Rocking!

I don't think anyone thinks Chase is a bad prospect. Most have him as a top 2-5 guy in this draft. The issue is simply the low level of talent on the line.
And, like it or not, nearly all of the great teams have outstanding O-lines.

Yeah. Pretty shocking actually.

That take slightly diminishes his credibility, as Higgins was not a great deep threat at all in his rookie year. We drafted Chase specifically to fix that problem, after all.
That said, I appreciate the love from NFL.com. Props to them for not going nuts that we passed on Sewell.
