The Bengals have a chance to nail this. While everyone else freaks out about getting a quarterback, Cincinnati can trade down from the five or get a phenomenal value with either the best receiver or offensive tackle there for the taking. There’s really not a bad pick between LSU WR Ja’Marr Chase or Oregon OT Penei Sewell, but going with the offensive tackle to protect the mending Joe Burrow might be the more responsible choice.
There are a whole lot of wide receivers in a deep, deep class. A terrific one will still be there at the 38th overall spot, but there won’t be a tackle anywhere close to Sewell’s level there. However, there should be a strong group of pass rushers and ends early in the second round, which means …
The Bengals can wait until the third round to get more for the receiving corps. If they really want to get funky, they can move some of their later picks to move up, or again, move down from five and start stockpiling a bit. They’re in a good overall position.
