I'd rank him somewhere around 8th best at his position. He has physical tools that Dalton doesn't have, he's great at limiting turnovers, and he has played well in the playoffs (although I'm not sure if that would transfer).
Although AJ is an elite talent, good WR's aren't nearly as important as QB's and they're much...much easier to find. Quick is decent, but I'd take Wilson and draft a top talent at WR. Use the money we would've used on Quick to shore up a different position.
That is my exact opinion.
If the Bengals were to let AJ walk and throw that money at Wilson I'd be thrilled. Nothing against AJ but I think that situation would improve the team by leaps and bounds.
Quick was simply used as an example due to being a free agent of similar age that could become a decent #1 wideout but hasn't reached his full potential.
