Feels kinda crappy to spend a 4th round pick on a gloried return specialist in Charlie Jones, no?

I thought when he was picked he was going to be the heir slot receiver after Boyd departed.

Surely the Bengals aren't just too afraid to play him on offense because they need him to return punts, right?

Jones as a perfect skill set for the slot.
He has great speed and agility.
He dominated his final year at Purdue, so it's not like there wasn't tape showing he can translate that speed and agility to the field.
