There is nothing that makes sense about cutting loose a starter and hoping/praying that you can replace the guy.  And no, I don't trust the Bengals to draft a guy that can step in and start from DAY 1 and replace his impact and security that he provides to the offense.  You can upgrade the offense and defense without moving on from him.

I guess I have more faith in the Bengals drafting WRs than you do.

Higgins rookie year:
67 rec, 908 yards, 6 TDs

Chase:
81 rec, 1455 yards, 13 TDs

If there's one position I trust them the most, it's WR.

I sure as hell trust them more with drafting quality immediate contributors there than I do at OL.
