What holds me back is the Super Bowl run chances with this receiver Group.
I get the concept of Stacking up at other positions of need while letting the receiver position sort of bottom out at
this level. If no solid Free Agent receiver is added and Top 1 through 4 round Draft capital is spent on other positions then
the Bengals are trying to make a Super Bowl run with this receiving Core.
Granted that a solid Tight End is added and the other position Groups get upgraded.
Like it Longer Term (say if the Green Bay Model of adding receivers gets done over time - They added 2nd rounder Christian Watson &
4th rounder Romeo Dobbs in 2022 then added 2nd rounder Jayden Reed & 5th rounder Dontavion Wicks in 2023.
*Maybe if the Bengals made one solid 2024 Draft pick at receiver taken in round 2 or 3 or 4 that could be productive during the
2nd half of the 2024 season like a few of the Green Bay receivers did it would give a boost to this receiver Group yet still allow the
other position Groups to get upgraded enough.
** If Chase gets hurt for any length of Time it could be extra bad. That was one advantage of having veterans TEE & Boyd around.
