LOLOL After watching the Chiefs win the title with Kelce and just a bunch of guys it is funny to me to think that the Bengals fans believe we need four #1 receivers! Bengals need to upgrade their defensive and offensive lines, they have enough receivers already SMH
Chase
Tee
Yoshie
Jones
Irwin
Where is the need for a #3? WOW
First off, my post clearly puts RT & DT/NT above WR3. And a pass rushing DT equal. Did you not see that?
I don't think Jones nor Iosivas showed they are ready to start yet. Irwin is OK v zone but cannot shaky sticky man to man. We play 3 ir 4 WR often. I think a Boyd replacement is a fairly obvious need.
I mean, Boyd had more yards than Irwin, Yoshi, and Jones combined.
Boyd: 67 for 667
Irwin: 25 for 316
Yoshi: 15 for 116
Jones: 7 for 64
Beyond Murphy & Newton, I am not in love with the DT classes pass rushers. And we need RT in Rd1. I could see DT in Rd2/Rd3/Rd4. But the WR class is deeper. And we also need TE and DB depth.
I think Rd1 or paying big money for WR3 is not happening. But spending a Day2 pick is certainly in play. We need more non-Chase dynasism on offense. Guys like Legette, Polk, Worhy, Walker, Roman Wilson, Pearsall, Corley, or McMillan make sense to me in Rd2-4.
Picking the RT/WR/TE in the draft allows you to use your cap to make a run at established guys at DT. If you think DT is more important, you should go FA at that spot to get a surer thing.
What you prioritize does not fit how you are going about it.
Again, we have 6 needs that I would be willing to spend significant capital on: $$ or Rd1-3 draft: WR2, DT/NT run defender, RT, DT pass rush, WR3, and TE.
Depending in how we attack FA and contract negotiations, I'd expect at least 3 big FA signings, but it could only be 2 with 2-3 smaller ones instead. So, 3-5 in FA + 3 high draft picks = 6-8.
