Bengals badly need a TE

Right, I get that, but should they have?
Or should they have gone with Darnell Washington instead since TE was more of a need, even if lower on the board?

Washington might have ended up contributing to the Bengals more the next couple years (the best SB window since all the big offensive contracts won't be there yet) compared to Battle. Or could there have been someone else taken instead of Murphy, as Murphy will likely just be a rotational player for the next 2-3 years?
