If the Bengals do upgrade TE in the draft, I hope it isn't in the first round. The NFL is notoriously bad at identifying TE prospects who will do well at the next level. Over the last 10-15 years, the first round TE list is incredibly disappointing and successful players are peppered around day 2 and 3. This doesn't mean that I think if they choose a guy later in the draft, they will have more success. I just think we still haven't quite figured out how to accurately assess TEs and would rather not risk the first round on one with them having such a high bust rate.
