That's overall. Not just at WR.
No real way any team could miss in that one.
That one was a no brainer.
Pretty much. Didn't take much thought to land a great WR with that pick... and outside of him, the second most productive Bengal-drafted WR in the Lewis Era is Jerome Simpson with 2,058 career receiving yards.

Side note?
That first round was amazing early, unless you were reaching for a crappy QB. It was as close to impossible to miss with anyone in the Top half of that draft as you'll ever see in a draft. 12 of the 16 first picks have been Pro Bowlers, 9 have been 1st Team All-Pro. That's even with three teams reaching hard for Locker, Gabbert, and Ponder.
