No they probably aren't, but I how much of that is AJ and how much is Dalton?CanesSkins26 wrote:You think that the Bengals regretting drafting AJ Green in the top 10?

BUT, at some point we need to face reality that we need a talented Young QB.
I would prefer to trade back. If the BPA is a WR when we pick and we can't trade back then we need to take the next BPA. I couldn't stomach us drafting a WR in the first half of the first round. The risk / reward ration on WRs would put them all on my do not draft list for the first round.
When we pick as high as we will (anywhere between 7-15) you have to try to get a difference maker. You ballance the risk against the reward and that makes it REAL HARD to justify a WR.
If you get a HoF WR you get a guy that will help the team some. If you get a HoF C, LT, RT, or QB you damatically help the team more than you do if you get a WR. The same could be said for NT in a 3-4, and to a lesser degree ILB.
I sure as hell regret Michael Westbrook and I'm sure Matt Millen (and the Lions) regret the 3 top ten WR they drafted prior to CJ and of course that team has dramatically once CJ was added. No wait they lost 16 straight! Never mind.
