Some people think we need to go buy a WR corps to rival Joe Burrow's without realizing that the Bengals aren't paying those guys yet, and they got those guys picking at or near the top of the draft.
Veach has invested a LOT in the WR room in the last year and a half. And I'm sure he'll continue to do so, but it's not going to be in high priced free agents-nor should it. That's going to cost you other in other positions.
This was absolutely the best time to draft and develop the WR room, while you still have Kelce doing Kelce things-and now it looks like you've built a great defense.
Some of these guys are going to pan out. Some may not. But we're going to be better moving forward for the process.

Lets not forget that they have an elite WR core, but their OLine is beyond awful. I would not be shocked if they were willing to trade Higgins and Boyd if it meant having a line like ours. Burrow gets beat up back there routinely, but hey they have cheap WRs right now.
