You need players to fit your scheme, period and Murrays 2 bad ankles didn't help either.
The Bengals had 3 good WRs but only Chase was fast. Tee Higgins ran a 4.54 and Boyd ran a 4.58 at their combines.
This place keeps saying we need speed at WR to get those long throws which is nice but not really true while MW who also ran a 4.54 lead the league in 40+ yard pass plays and a career 16 YPC.
You just need good players but sure speed helps. But that isn't what the Bengals recievers have. Only Chase is a speed guy.
I'll be pretty shocked if we spend 17 in a WR. Again I won't complain but when you are paying both Keenan and MW 20 mil a year, I doubt we are going WR again in round 1.
The last bolded above I'm gonna call BS on that too.
We are the only team in the league paying 2 WRs that kind of dough. A 3rd making first round money? I say NO.
Again, I'll welcome a WR, just don't think that's where we go. But if we do, great. My view is we need good players period.
The Steelers and Packers usually have a good stable of WRs but they are never loaded with high money WRs.
Pittsburgh is very good at finding good WRs 2nd round on down. Clayton was a 2nd, JuJu a 2nd, Antonio Brown a 6th, Emmanuel Sanders a 3rd, Dionte Johnson a 3rd,
Hines Ward a 3rd, Mike Wallace a 3rd , Randle El a 2nd.
Just my opinion. Telesco just needs to draft better and hopefully Staley is a better evaluator than Lynn.
