Franchise passer in hand, the next task is beefing up the offense around Joe Burrow as quickly as possible. Backs and tight ends boast respectable depth and the offensive line has slowly improved this year, leaving wideout as a red flag. Minus Tyler Boyd, the unit doesn’t have enough guaranteed consistency. Laviska Shenault can change that. The 6’2″ big-play artist could slip to the top of Round 2, which means the Bengals get a player who has tallied nearly 2,000 receiving yards with 10 total scores over the past two years. Call it must-have A.J. Green insurance.
