The NFL Draft isn’t about just teams drafting their biggest needs. Many of the better run teams are able to anticipate needs and draft players for depth that can eventually step into starting roles.
The Cincinnati Bengals are usually good about following that trend. Sometimes they miss the mark (see drafting Cedric Ogbuehi and Jake Fisher to potentially replace Andrew Whitworth), but they usually do a nice job of mixing drafting for need, the best player available and need down the line.
They have a potential to do that this year by adding a wide receiver to their talented wide receiver group that includes Tee Higgins, Tyler Boyd and Ja’Marr Chase.
