Coleman is the target. This is a smoke screen. Bengals visited with Coleman more than any othet player: 4 separate documented times. Basically at every opportunity they could and at multiple points in time through the off season.
Plus, Coleman is the only high pick WR who can contribute from day 1. LaFell, if healthy, will be the #2 wide out. No rookie from this class is coming in and supplanting him in that role. These guys will all need a year or two to be NFL starters.
Coleman adds value on special teams right now and has the upside to develop over time as a #2. If he's off the board the Bengals will probably trade back.
