What are your thoughts on drafting a WR with our first round pick?

O-line first, then either DE or something in the D-backfield (CB, SS, FS). There will be some good quality WR's in FA and the draft. Plus, we need to give Anthony Mix a chance to prove himself. He did play with Campbell at Auburn, which could mean great production from those two. Campbell is coming into his own and Mix could develop into a productive wideout. Just my thoughts.

we need line help on both sides of the ball. just say no to a wide out

Not just our history, but NFL history. When's the last time a receiver drafted in the first round made an immediate impact on the team's success? I'm not talking about having a great season (Boldin), I'm just talking about getting a team to the next level.

I think you can get solid receivers in the 2nd round and beyond


Good point u never know it could be Freedie Mitchell/Rod Gardner or it could be Randy Moss, u just never know

bad idea

I must say I was on the CJ bandwagon, but I just get the sense that A) the Bengals won't change their mind, just to stick it to Ocho Cinco or B) the Bengals will bait Danny to give up two picks (as someone said 1st and 3rd) and will overpay CJ.

It...would be a much better idea than taking one with the 6th overall pick.

That said, receiver is the one position where we are very, very deep. No issue there, so no solution is necessary.

I agree, our recievers would be alot better if our quarterback plays better. That starts with protection, which means improving the Oline first.

No. We need to build our team around strong off. and def. lines.

Enough addressing of the skill positions, we need to plant the seed at the core of our team.

I would say no. We picked up a WR from the Giants who is supposed to be the next T.O. possibly. If we need a WR I would rather go with one that has experience like CJ were you know the player will contribute and can teach Mix. Why take a shot in the dark in the draft when we have bad tallent scouts when it comes to WR in the first round.

If the plan for the draft was to use the 1st round spot for a WR then trade for CJ if it was to be used for another position then forget CJ and look at other FA.

I don't think that drafting a WR is a good idea. WRs have a high bust rate, and take multiple years to develop into the studs we see today. There are just too many problems grooming a young WR. I'd love to see us take some mid round projects, but not 1st rounders that we invest a ton of money into.
