CINCINNATI — PFF's Gordon McGuinness broke down team needs for all 32 franchises in this year's NFL Draft and he has wide receiver at the top of the list along with guard, defensive tackle and edge rusher.

Ohio State wide receiver Emeka Egbuka is his best fit for Cincinnati in the first two rounds.

"How big a need wide receiver is for the Bengals depends on whether or not Tee Higgins leaves in free agency, but Egbuka would be an interesting replacement in the first round. With one game left to go this year, he averages 2.51 yards per route run on the season," McGuinness wrote.

Cincinnati's offense flows best using elite wide receiver play on either side of Joe Burrow. Egbuka could be a nice addition to the offense. He is the third-best receiver on the consensus big board and 24th-best player overall.
