Try to sell me on O.J. Howard.

And for people touting Jake Butt...how exactly is he better than Tyler Kroft, especially after his torn ACL? Sure, Kroft hasn't really come on as a solid NFL TE yet, but his scouting reports and college production are very similar to that of Butt. In fact, Kroft was being mentioned to have above average athleticism and a "sneaky" good pass catcher while being a solid blocker. Butt is being labeled as just having average athleticism and limited potential, and being serviceable as a blocker.

I don't see how Jake Butt makes this TE group better, as the Bengals already have a Butt-like player in Tyler Kroft.
If the Bengals want to improve the TE position, they need someone who has true elite athleticism to be a dominant receiving threat while also being able to truly block. A player like Bucky Hodges or Jordan Leggett offers more from a potential standpoint than Jake Butt, but they need to gain more experience as blockers.

So if I'm looking at a TE, I'm looking at Howard at 9, Njoku at 41 (if he's there), and Hodges or Leggett in rounds 3-4. I don't think Engram or Everett makes sense because they look like strictly pass catchers. The Bengals like their TE's 6'4"+ and 245+ lbs, neither of which Engram nor Everett fits.
