We have AJ, Eiffert, and Boyd (who we drafted in the second round last year). 

This team has so many more issues than wide receiver. Offensive and defensive lines, secondary, running back, etc. 

Well, here's why....
OL - No interior OL worth taking at #9 this year, plus this team won't give up on Ogbuehi or start a rookie at LT if Whitworth isn't back.
DL - Also no one worth taking unless Garrett, Allen, or Thomas falls
RB - This RB class is the deepest it's been in a long time. Can find better value at RB later than WR
DB - Unless the Bengals would actually move Williams to nickel LB, their safeties are set. They also don't need to spend yet another first rounder on a CB. This CB class is also very deep and many experts have said you can get a first or second round quality CB in the fourth or fifth round this year.

The only other sound selection without overly reaching would be LB. Now with LaFell signed, I think LB could be next best option if The Big 3 DL are not available at 9.
