I could have reached and taken a WR that would have given the team less value than a selection at another position but I did not see that as very smart business. The Bengals are returning:
Jamarr Chase
Charlie Jones
Andrei Iosivas
Trenton Irwin
Then you add Luke McCaffrey and Bub Means? Yeah I do not feel bad about that room at all.
Your penciled in WR2 is Irwin. He started 5 games last year and had 187 receiving yards combined across those 5 starts.
For reference, only 40% of 4th round picks play out their rookie deals with the team that drafted them and get a second contract someplace. You can't bank an entire position group on praying you can develop a bunch of Day 3 picks and UDFA's into plus starters, especially guys that you've had in your system a year and have only flashed WR4/5 potential.
I get BPA to a point, but you drafted the #31 prospect at #31, the #49 prospect at #49, the #58 prospect at #63, and the #79 prospect at #80. You don't seem to be drafting for need or value.
