Why do I point this out? Because the WRs that we let walk were mid to low round picks. We seem to fill out our WR group by developing them in lower rounds. I don't think that will change. I look for Mario Alford and Rex Burkhead to step up and fill that WR#3 spot. I also don't see the Bengals drafting WR in round #1 as this is a shallow WR class (by most measures). I think we'll target a DT or DE. If the ones they covet in those two positions are not there don't be shocked if we trade down and pick the OC from Alabama.
I hope they dont take a WR in round 1 to fill complimentary player holes on the roster. I really like Anderw Billings form the videos on him I have watched. And wouldnt be opposed to taking Jaylon Smith there either. Our roster is deep enough that we could roll the dice on picking up a top 5 talent at number 24...even if he ends up not working out in the long run.
