You better be putting points on the board....We have seen when Steelers and Big Ben have a whole bunch of HEALTHY receivers, it turns into a basketball score. The Bengals best years, even the Super Bowls were when we had a stable of top receivers......Now, the opposite approach and thinking we can get by with Baby Hawk, or maybe now move Burkhead to WR, or suddenly Tate is Great, or receivers we have had in those 4 win seasons that no other team wanted, it doesn't work. ....There is passing in the NFL.  More now than ever due to rule changes. The idea that we can replace Jones and Sanu with Tate and Burkhead doesn't cut it in the NFL.  ......Does anybody deny that it is a passing NFL ?......Does anybody deny that Jones and Sanu had talent ?.......Well then, we better get a good draft pick in here. The Bengals already said after losing these two that their replacements would mostly have to come from the draft. Now the problem with that is, all the scouting reports say the WR talent pool isn't very deep.  After you get past round 1, there really aren't NFL type receivers out there in 2016.  So if we don't take WR in round 1, the receivers in other rounds aren't worth drafting, not this year. That is the problem for a team that has already said they need to replace Jones and Sanu in the draft. .....It is a passing NFL, and you better have top notch WR's, and right now the Bengals don't have enough. The draft could fix that......I also agree with the poster who said Dalton is only as good as the talent you surround him with. He is not an elite QB, but given the right talent, he can win games. 

How do you know that there aren't going to be any WR's worth drafting outside of the 1st?
What happens if none are picked in the 1st?
There will be WR's out there that can and will be picked outside of the 1st and contribute. We're not replacing AJ Green, we are replacing Jones/Sanu. LaFell helps with that, so all we need is one more in the later rounds and have him play with in his skill set while he develops.
