Another reason to take one of these elite SEC WR's in Heisman Smith or Chase
It Bengals have only Mixon, Boyd and Higgins, that is too easy for Defenses, way too easy. Bengals will be lucky to win 4 games.
You add Smith or Chase to Boyd, Higgins, Mixon, now Defenses have problems, now Bengals can win games.
Adding Smith or Chase frees up Boyd, Higgins, Mixon have open lanes, and Burrow to have more weapons to use.
To those that want to have Williams, Reiff and Sewell when you can only start 2 tackles, that is a good way to stay in last place. I'm not going to keep watching this team in Last Place.
Nobody has been yelling for more Blocking than me the last 4 years. . I was for Sewell until they signed Reiff. I agree we need more help at Center and Guard and Depth across the O Line. Signing Reiff and Golladay to Giants opens up taking Smith or Chase at pick 5 to give Burrow more weapons. There is still the entire rest of the draft for other needs after we help Burrow, Mixon, Boyd, Higgins by grabbing an elite top WR to make Bengals harder to Defend. To those talking Sewell for 2022, Zac Taylor better be trying to win some Games in 2021 or he may not be here in 2022. Mixon, Boyd and Higgins is nothing, too easy to cover in NFL. A high school offense of 1 RB and 2 WRs, the NFL will throw a blanket over them and take Burrows head off. We need Smith or Chase to have more weapons to get plays open and move the ball and score in todays NFL.
Add in Chase and Smith are of the SEC, and in 2021, NFL teams should be looking SEC in the Draft more than ever. They did get playing time and reps in during 2020. Plus it is the most dominate Championships conference in college football. Going SEC at pick 5 is also a good move. Here we have The Heisman winner out of SEC who kicked Ohio States butt all night, and we also have Burrows best WR target at LSU from that Championship.
Burrow will only succeed in an LSU or Saints type offense of many good WRs. If all we have is Mixon, Boyd and Higgins, Burrow will be in the wrong system on the wrong team. The Bengals know this and why they tried to get Golladay. Now they should take Smith or Chase who in many ways may have more of a future than Golladay who Giants landed.
I could see SEC Pitts also. Smith, Chase or Pitts out of the SEC and high on the draft boards look too good to pass up. Best Available Athletes. The draft far from over, we should get great talent at Pick 5 in rounds 2 and 3 and even 4 to fill other needs, of which we have many in last place, but I do see an attempt at rebuilding in Free Agency and Draft last 2 years. Many Free Agent moves on Defense last 2 years. Team is trying to climb up, The Offense is in dire need of another elite pass catcher for Burrow to hit. Burrow needs more weapons to go to, like when we drafted SEC Collinsworth for Ken Anderson to take us to Super Bowl.
Also, I like Mixon, Boyd and Higgins. By themselves, they will be Defensed. This is why Bengals tried to get Golladay and now should look SEC top elite players in Smith, Chase or Pitts. Then you see, you get Mixon, Boyd and Higgins more open, the offense not as easy to Defend. Fans of 2005 know this. You have Chad and TJ, but then you add Henry and young Carson had weapons. Adding that 3rd elite WR is KEY. AJ Green and Ross just haven't been giving us that last couple years. Boyd, Higgins and one of these SEC Stars should.
Getting Reiff actually makes me feel better about drafting Sewell, as Sewell is coming off a covid year and opted not to play and he a bit raw. He would be perfect for grooming behind a vet like Riley. And depth or he can give a shot at G his rookie season. But Miami will most likely draft him. If he falls to us, I cant see how we pass him up. He has all the tools to become a stud RT, but needs to shake the rust off and get adjusted to the NFL. Perfect to do behind a guy like Reiff.
