It wouldn't be any different if "Taylor just admitted the Bengals had Robinson and Gibbs as their top two RBs." It's Taylor stating the obvious: the Bengals ranked two talented TEs high on their board. We don't even know the Bengals framework for the rankings. The rankings might not have been purely talent based, but also tried to account for the targeted round to select a player (Kincaid = round 1 possible target & LaPorta = round 2 possible target).
It would have been a newsworthy tidbit if Zac said, "I admit we had Kincaid as the top TE and he was 100% the pick we wanted at #28."
/end old guy, get off my lawn babble about dumb tweets.
No. What you are missing is that Mayer & Washington were not as highly regarded by the Bengals as by many fans. That is the upshot.
