The pick everyone has expected since January — and it's the right one. It'll be interesting to find out what kind of ransom Miami (or anyone else) offered for the pick. But barring it being something absurd, the Bengals were right to stick here and pick a potential franchise changer.

The Bengals explored a trade, but ultimately get Joe Burrow some help with a long receiver who should have been a first-rounder (in our minds). Higgins grew up in Tennessee as a Bengals fan — and an A.J. Green fan, especially — so this is a fascinating union here. Cincinnati has some weapons to run a lot of four-wide formations.

A nice little pick here. Wilson was a high school corner and safety who turned into a tackle machine for the Cowboys, but his coverage skills never left him. He’s an intelligent player whose lack of athleticism could hold him back a bit, but Wilson’s coverage ability should still translate. At the very worst, he’s a solid linebacker and special teams ace.
