With us cutting Tanner and keeping Sample i am 100% sure our philosophy on TEs hasn’t changed so we still value blocking over being a pass catching threat so i am very surprised we passed ok Darnell Washington.


This is the battle of drafting BPA and need. We definitely needed A TE when we passed on Darnell but i am very happy with who we got.

100% this.

Bengals (and probably most teams) have their big board and track who is still available as their picks approach.
If they have a guy super high up on their board that's still available and they didn't expect to be there, do they forego need and just take BPA, even if the player ends up as a backup/rotational player for the next couple years?
Or would a pick at a need position with maybe someone somewhat lower on their board ultimately result in better contributions?
