We just upgraded that position by a lot. We can trade the worst ones if necessary to get more picks.

I wonder if Erickson will lose his job. Ross and Mixon are both returners. We have so many receivers.

[Okeana]

Yeah they will probably cut lafell after 1 year or maybe even mid season. We have a lot of talented young receivers. I can support the pick altho I would have preferred switzer because I want a shifty slot guy, but I don't know enough on Malone to speak on the subject. His measurable look good and what a team of receivers to learn with.

Did they say why? I like the pick since we have so many. SStill a few great ofoffensive lineman available,  hope we can still get one

Funny because you let one of the top tackles & guards in the league go..... & you don't address it?

This screams that they aren't completely sold on the ones they have, and if that's the case they should do exactly what they've done.

Hoping Asiata keeps falling...

[Big Boss]

Can't have too many receivers to battle it out in camp. Bring it on.

[PlayadLc]

You cant have enough good WR's.

I'm on board.

I get it but we haven't helped our biggest problem at all--O line.

[Beaker]

Our WR battles will be interesting.

Is Malone this draft's Nick Vigil?

Erickson is gone

[*Synric*]

Shows us how bad the offensive line prospects really are in this draft class.

Yeah he's as good as gone, sadly. It's too bad, he looked really good returning kicks in the second half of the season 

[Trademark]

Funny how our core was kinda garbage last season and now we are stacked.

I agree Bonnie, but I don't see our biggest need as a value right now..... a tackle so no need to reach

Most likely because this draft is a terrible draft for O line prospects.

I for one would rather have them wait for better prospects next year than reach this year.

And the coaches know better than us how those O line guys we already have are progressing. They may feel that what we have is better than what's available. 

[Gohards]

I dont get the 2nd reciever pick i really dont... hopefully asiata falls to us

[*psychdoctor*]

CBS is talking up Malone. "I really love this pick... Cincinnati is hitting out of park"

[CageTheBengal]

Gotta agree that some o-line help would be nice.

O-line is more important than WR especially after the picks we've spent on them before Malone the last 2 years.

BPA logic starts to get flawed when you have so many of one position (looking at the CBs.)
