I was not high on Higgins the pick, and still think it was the wrong pick.
The order of need for the Bengals should have been:
1. Draft Burrow
2. Protect Burrow
3. Get him weapons
4. Improve the defense.
Well the succeeded on 1, 3,4 but failed miserably on 2. The notion that they picked Burrow #1 and didn't make another move to protect him surprises me. I can see this play out:
1. Chase
2. DE - Well, the lineman we wanted went right before our pick and DE was the highest rated player on our board.
3. LB - Again, the lineman we targeted was picked and said LB was the highest rated player on our board.
4. WR - We had said WR ranked as a 2nd rounder.
5. RB - We needed to replace Bernard
6. OT - Man are we glad this guy slipped to round 6. We think he can be a starter in the future.
7. CB - Throw away pick, CB who will be luck to stay on the roster.
