Actually I believe it will be Mixon and Higgins.
Really don't see them having to go high on WR just yet though, WR's seem to be NFL ready coming out these days and the defense still needs bolstering.
Would like a RB in this draft in 3rd or 4th round though because Bengals will be running the ball a lot and Mixon is already getting too many carries.
We need Mixon healthy throughout the season and playoffs. Alleviating some of his workload could help immensely imo.
With going to a 17 game schedule (and potentially long playoff runs the next few years), I think having a good backup RB to limit Mixons carries would be a plus. Evans could still turn out to be that guy, but I also wouldn't be opposed to a 3rd/4th round RB if the right guy was there. It would have been really nice if we would have gotten that comp pick, but John Ross had to drop it (again) for us.
