If the TE were a featured component of the Bengals' offense, then I would be all on board with going after a Kyle Pitts styled player.

Bengals don't need to bother drafting a TE who is going to be a security blanket. They have Uzomah and Sample, plus Kroft is hitting FA again. Go get him for cheap if you want a security blanket. Don't waste a "premium" (Day 1/2) pick on a security blanket (again).

I want a more skilled TE because I want that added dimension to the offense. People can talk about how great the passing game was but they were only that good because of how often they passed. They still ended up 27th in yards and TDs while having the 14th most attempts. If the Bengals want to get better in the passing game, they need more elite pass catchers. A guy like Long isn't likely going to give that.
