MJ is a quality 2nd WR, I think. How much can we improve on with him? He makes so many catches that I think only him and AJ can.

Some think he is the best athlete in the entire draft. 

Love Marvin as our #2 ! But if he is trying to break our bank and get paid like #1 ? Then believe he becomes detrimental to the overall team strength. 


Trust the Bengals scouting department on this subject because they have a great track record of finding them.

In the last 15 drafts they have scored on most WR drafted in first 5 rounds, 

Chad Johnson 2nd, ....Chris Henry 3rd,...... Sanu 3rd, .......Marvin Jones 5th,....... AJ Green 1st,.....Eiffert 1st, .....Gresham 1st.
All have contributed nicely right out of college.

But missed on ......Jordan Shipley 3rd,......Orson Charles 3rd,......and Kelly Washington 3rd. 

7 out of 10 were hits that were drafted to make catches. Someone in the organization knows what to look for here it seems.  
Hit on Hush Puppy (Houshmandzadeh) in the 7th round too, but do not think anybody expects a player past the 5th round to be anything more than a gamble pick. So will not count.
