So on the Bengals board, Darrisaw or Slater is probably sitting top 8/10  right now so picking them 10-15 pick is actually a more value pick when you consider they also will be getting extra picks for moving down for a player they value much higher... 

And sorry Chase is not being compared to AJ Green or J. Jones various mocks have Smith going before Chase. and some Chase in top 8 to 12 pick... and  from those who are experts in the draft I don;t see anyone really comparing Chase to Green.. 5th picks in the draft are the not the same value year to year...

Chase is an absolute stud, who at 19 years old set records for both yards and TD’s in the best conference in the country while playing with our QB. He absolutely has the potential to be franchise altering in the vein of an AJ Green. A true #1 (which we’ve been lacking since the first half of 2018). Chase put up those numbers playing with (and out producing) a guy in Justin Jefferson who just came in and lit the league on fire as a rookie. But Chase was the #1 in that LSU offense (which we’ve incorporated plays into ours from). I understand you want to go in different direction, but there’s absolutely no reason to downplay how good Ja’Marr Chase is.
