All in on Trey Burton

IDK I'm just not a huge believe in Uzomah and Sample remains to be seen. I know Burton produced when he was actually thrown the ball.

Obviously I wouldn't break the bank he'd need to come cheap

Joe does a nice job of spreading the ball around to all of his various weapons.  Obviously, every QB has his favorite connection (Justin Jefferson), but if you look at his pass distribution breakdown from last season, you can see that he see's and finds every option on the field.  

I think that the lack of proliferated use of the TE in the Bengals' offense has been more by design.  If you look at the Ram's offense (the one everyone claim's that Taylor is attempting to duplicate), you'll notice that they have a pair of very reliable TEs that get a significantly low number of targets.  I believe that is because the plays are designed to put targets at 3 levels for the defense to defend, and the object is to lull the defense into pulling the Safeties up to adequately cover the mid level receiver, and finding the deep threat alone in single coverage.  The TE is more of a safety valve in that system, so no need to have a superstar at the position.
