"I think the Bengals will not use many (if at all) 5 WR sets this year. I don't see that being a common formation for them. I think they will use the TE more & go with 3 or 4 wide, or spit out a RB depending on down & distance, field position, etc. Could they draft a guy, or use Simpson as the 6th WR? Yes, but Simpson doesn't play ST, which means Simpson would have to beat out Matt Jones (cut) or Caldwell (back to ST only). A rookie WR would have to play ST in order to be active on game day, OR someone has to get cut. I don't see them using a #1 or #2 draft pick for that. It would be a lot of $ tied up at the WR position & unless the guy beats out Jones or Caldwell, he won't play much."
