25. Cincinnati Bengals

56. <p>Reloading the wide receiving corps remains on the agenda for the Cincinnati Bengals. A.J. Green is still a stud but beyond him the options have become limited Maybe rookies Tyler Boyd and Cody Core can become big contributors but there is no guarantee of that. Why not hedge the bets and bring in another talented body?</p> <p>It’s not like the Bengals are hurting for big needs. They have depth at almost every position thanks to years of quality drafting. They can afford to go with a bit of a luxury pick here.</p> <p>Being in an offense with questionable quarterback play and a superstar running back can make it easy to get overlooked as a wide receiver. Even so scouts have already begun to notice for Malachi Dupre. It’s hard not to.</p> <p>He’s a 6-foot-3 kid with enough speed to burn defenses deep. His wide catch radius would be instantly appealing for Andy Dalton since he knows how to go up and get the ball. As with most college receivers he has to learn how to run routes better. Staying in school was the right choice to help that problem sort itself out.</p>. WR. LSU. Malachi Dupre . 25. player
