We have Boyd and Tate under contract for next year. Still feels like we have to come away with a WR from this draft. Maybe not a dire need, but close.

sparky151 Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 I expect they'll sign AJ to a longer deal. If he stays healthy, the position isn't in dire shape at all. We won't pick up the 5th year option on Ross so he's likely gone next season. We'll be looking for a replacement for him but it's a much lower priority than fixing the O-line and LB corps.

I dont think so but alot of pieces have to fall in place... In terms of who is signed past this year - it is dire. It is Boyd and Tate (if you buy into him being an answer and I don’t yet). So, for 2021 as it currently stands, it’s just Boyd who is legit. the need is dire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 PS - most of the receivers you all are mocking in 4th and 5th rounds like Van Jefferson and Devin Duverney and Tyler Johnson are slot guys - which we already have set in Boyd. If you want a future potential outside guy to replace Ross and/Green - you have to find him before round four... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

membengal Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 Literally, next year, there is no one proven on the outside under contract. Getting a second slot doesn’t address that. They need a WR in 2 or 3 who plays outside. The LB depth is really good for rounds 4 and 5. This is doable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont care fron here on ..they have Green Tate Ross and dont forget Stanley Morgan as wideouts. Boyd in the slot but need another slot receiver..Erickkson isnt the answer... So mayby a slot in round four .. I disagree on 4. Who knows what management's long term thinking is on both Green and Ross? Perhaps a good case can be made that their play this year will be a determining factor on each of them? Boyd is under contract, so if I were in charge of adding to the WR room, I'd be looking at an outside guy moreso than a slot guy. Ideally, it'd probably be a guy who in the worse case scenario could fill either the X or Y roles depending on how the season plays out for each of Green or Ross, should we decide to move on from either of them.

I dont think so but alot of pieces have to fall in place... AJ has only played one full season out of the last 4; and he’s not getting any younger. Unfortunately, you can’t count on him to make it though a season. Tate is solid, but he can’t be your #2 or higher Boyd is really good, and I’m happy we’ve got him Ross...unreliable Morgan...he didn’t get drafted for a reason Erickson...produces when he gets a shot as long as he’s not on the outside I’d say this is pretty dire, especially with a rookie QB coming in. Let’s look at a realistic scenario based on the last 5 year. 1. AJ gets hurt in game 3, misses 10 games 2. There’s some tape on Tate, but he still plays well, especially in the red zone 3. Ross plays 8 games and scores 6 TDs in those games....but only 8 games 4. Boyd has another 1k yard season Joe Burrow will be throwing to Tate, Boyd and probably Erickson at the end of the season. That’s not winning football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of those guys are NFL-ready and can be day one plug-and-play starters on the outside, IMO. Aiyuk doesn’t really do much for me and Reagor will be a slot receiver, IMO.

mojo Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 As far as WRs go, I haven’t seen any discussion about Mike Thomas on here. There is a photo gallery of him on the Bengals app, so I assume we signed him. Does he bring anything to the table or is he just another body?

gupps Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 1 hour ago, claptonrocks said: I do like Higgins and Mims but Im not sure thats a Priority over OT and cover backer... This. I don't think you can fix this team in one year so you pretty much have to pick your poison. AFAIC protecting the franchise should be job #1, that means oline. The next worst (or maybe the worst) group is LB, so there's another premium pick. Want to pick a WR after round 4 or 5 I'd be fine with that. Or maybe trade down a bit and get an extra 3rd and use the freebie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not necessarily down on Higgins, I like him better than Aiyuk and Reagor. I just don't think he's as polished as the other guys I mentioned. Maybe a tick higher upside but a lower floor, IMO.

Weigh in.... Nope. I think he will probably be available at 33 but fixing the O-line has to be the priority over adding another WR. I'd much rather trust AJ Green to stay healthy than Bobby Hart to suddenly improve massively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothD Posted April 14, 2020 Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 Picking a WR at 33 is almost a must. He will be AJ's replacement. You won't find his replacement in the 3rd round or later, even though this is one of the deepest WR classes ever. We can't go into the season thinking AJ will make it to the end of the season unscathed. That's just facts. Boyd is a solid No. 2, but we need someone opposite of him who can get down field and make plays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|westside bengal| Posted April 14, 2020 Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 The run on WR's will start around pick #10. After taking Joe Burrow at #1 if the Bengals really want to find AJ's replacement, what about being bold and move back up into the 1st round? Best guesses put Jeudy-Ruggs-Lamb around picks 10-15 but you never know how the draft will go. Are any of the next 3 wr's legitimate AJ Green replacements and how far would the Bengals have to move up to get one? Would you package picks only? Would you trade someone and who?
