Anything is possible, but I'm not sure why people are so quick to think Erickson would be the first WR to go.
What makes Cody Core a lock? He's a lesser version of Malone that doesn't have Erickson's return skills. You also have to consider that maybe the Bengals don't want to use studs like Ross and Mixon as full time return guys. They should have very important roles in the offense. Plus Erickson led the conference in KR yards (averaging a stellar 27.9 yards/return) and flashed promise as a receiver late in the season.
I'm not saying Erickson is a lock, but I'd be willing to bet he makes it over Core. It's possible the roll with 7 like Hobspin said. We'll see.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
