Sample isn't comparable honestly. He is our H-Back/Fullback Tight End and expect him to be used in the backfield with Burrow a ton
this year. Sample just got a 3 year deal and he is by far our best blocking TE and is as good as any blocking TE in the NFL.
Gesicki, Hudson and McLachlan are pass catching TE's, Erick All would be the only TE to compare with Drew Sample on the roster and
he isn't healthy right now.

McLachlan would be claimed off the PS the same day he was put on it.
Gesicki lessens the need for Hudson, McLachlan could be Gesicki's replacement in the future.
All is the complete in-line TE we haven't had for ages.
Yes, Hudson is older and I bet we can put him on the PS if he gets beat out anyways. Not near as valuable as a TE like McLachlan.
Even though now there is a rule change where we can protect certain players on our PS.

Truth.
