I totally understand drafting a top WR to grow and develop with our rookie QB, but if that was the plan we should have let Green walk.  When we drafted Green he was clearly our #1 WR.  How much play is Higgins going to get as our #1 WR with both Boyd and Green still on the team.

Still think we have a gaping hole at OG.  Would have preferred a possible starter there over a #3 WR.

I think drafting players and giving them a year to grow and learn before taking over in their 2nd year is ideal for player development. Obviously, you can't always do that but when you get the chance I like the practice. 

I think the Bengals are much more comfortable with their oline than we are. I would have loved a day 1 starter at OG with round 1 talent at 33 but I don't really think there was one there. Robert Hunt maybe, but is he a better talent than Higgins? I'm not so sure. 

Generally, if you can get a better talent at a lesser need (but still a near future need) it's a good use of your draft capital. Drafting strictly on need is a risky proposition.
