The Bengals and Ja’Marr Chase went and changed the whole draft strategy for the NFL. Wow.

He brought the idea of an elite WR on a rookie deal to the forefront. He transformed that offense with Burrow. Combine that with WR’s breaking the bank on 2nd and 3rd contracts. It’s changed the landscape of the league.

Who Dey for life but stop it man, Chase isn’t the first receiver to be taken in the early rounds. I’m not even sure you have a point to be made here, teams draft the BPE all the time.

Lol. There’s so much more to it but it has little to do with Chase going at 5. You missed the point.

Look, I’m a Bengals fan as well, but we seriously need to stop acting like the Bengals are the standard all of a sudden. They’re not.

Lol. It’s not the “standard”. It’s one aspect of the game that Cincinnati helped write the final line on. The elite rookie WR is more valuable than ever w/ the landscape of the league. Some folks have to stop pretending like it’s impossible that Cincy did something right.

It was. And a slightly down year for WR’s compared to the last couple of years but 6 still went.

I think some of the deals of free agency have helped shape this. And as the passing game continues to become so dominant and NFL catches up to college it’s almost like WR will soon become the new RB where some teams refuse to pay them - if the early production continues to show

Bit of a stretch lol we took Joe's college running mate, a 1 of a kind WR, the pick made sense for us. All the teams that took WRs needed them.

Right. But the need has never been greater. There were other factors that played into it, but the run they made solidified a lot.
