If we were told hey Boyd is traded for a draft pick and rookie will start at WR3, we would be ok... lets check it out.
If we were told hey Bates is traded for a draft pick and rookie will start at FS, we would be a little less confident and asking who our CB1 was?
We like the money saved and the youth at both spots, but FS requires 2, maybe 3 guys for us to be truly comfortable (New FS, CB1, and maybe a vet FS as insurance?)
Who is the Bengals' CB1 right now? Are you comfortable with that? No, you're not. You've already stated so. That's why you think Bates is valuable. You know they need to upgrade CB. You know CB is a position of priority over FS. Yet, you're still going with the same scenario the more important position isn't addressed.
I understand the context perfectly. I understand the logic to your argument. It is your decision making that is inconsistent with the context and your logic.
