Why RB additions important

With that said, looks like good draft all around.  Go Bengals....BACK TO THE SUPER BOWL

   

Elijah Collins I don't think makes the team. 
Dude played 6 years of college football between Michigan St and Oklahoma St, amassing under 2000 yards from scrimmage across those 6 seasons.
This was across 50 games.
Only 4.3 YPC in college, which typically will go down in the NFL.
He's ok athletically, but one has to really wonder why he couldn't get more production if he is actually NFL-caliber.

Noah Cain is also extremely unlikely to make the team.
Dude is slow as dirt.
Cain performed terribly in athletic drills while being only 222 lbs. He played 230+ in college.


Right now, the stable is looking like Moss, Brown, Williams, and Evans.
