The LFG Mock!!
#5
I'd have to see who was available at 65, but I think if we're taking a receiving TE on day 2, it may as well be a WR. We have a more immediate need at WR, as Ross and Green and perhaps even Tate are going to be gone in 2021 (all in their contract years, granted Tate is an RFA).

Our offensive scheme itself also doesn't really use 2 TEs, especially with Burrow coming in, his specialty in college was light protection schemes and 4 to 5 receiving options each play to maximize his insane processing speed. As far as I know, LSU basically never used 2 TE sets, as their #2 TE only had 12 receptions all year.

We have 4 TEs on our roster already, one of which was a 2nd round pick last year. 

Uzomah is a legitimate receiving threat and he showed that late in the year last year and if the Bengals drafted another day 2 TE, that would essentially be waving the white flag on Sample, which I just don't see them doing.

I love Ruiz at 33 and Gay in the 4th though. Those two are huge value picks and, while I think a better day 1 WR could be found at 65, Tyler Johnson is great value in the 5th round. He could be a slot receiver in the NFL easily and, if he can learn to get better separation on the outside, could very easily be an outside receiver.

Adeniji and Strnad round out a solid draft with value at each pick.

If this draft happens, I'd be happy with the lone exception of wondering what's going on with Kmet rather than a WR.
