Seems we might not  have good options for a RT when we pick.

Even if we don't take a tackle, I'm PRAYING we don't take Kincaid. He's a glorified receiver. We don't need that. We need a tight end.

Kincaid reminds me of the failure we had in taking Chase Coffman because of his college highlights when he was a good receiver and made big plays by jumping over defenders.

Kincaid has the receiving talent to control the middle of the field.

Kincaid is built like a pumped up receiver. I want our tight end to be able to be physical in the middle of the field and up the seam.

No thanks.

I would just rather hope a legit WR fell to 28 like Quentin Johnston, Smith-Njigba or Addison over a WR playing TE in Kincaid.

We would have to grab at least 1 more TE in the Draft that can block and it makes us predictable by the type of players we put on
the field which I never like. Would prefer Darnell Washington or Mayer at 28, both of whom can block and catch.

Exactly. I don't want a receiver masked as a tight end. I want a blocker and someone that can be physical and not get pushed around in the secondary.

After all of the injuries and recoveries that the Bengals went through with Tyler Eifert, I sincerely hope that they are smart enough to pass on Kincaid.

EXACTLY.

I want a tight end that's going to be a force on the field, be physical in blocking and routes, and lower their head to initiate contact.

Give me Mayer or Washington if we go TE in the first.
