The last 2 times we drafted a TE in the first the next TEs off the board were Gronk and Ertz. Below are some other TEs that went outside the first round in those 2 drafts:

Jimmy Graham
Vance McDonald
Travis Kelce
Jordan Reed
Dennis Pitta

I like Freiermuth. He's been nicknamed Baby Gronk for a reason. Dude is a very well-rounded, big TE. He's not going to be as fast or agile as Pitts, but I expect he's going to be a very good TE in the NFL for years. I think Jordan can be good in the NFL too, but some teams might shy away from him due to his height. However, he's the same height as Evan Engram, who has been a good pass catcher when healthy.

If the Bengals went Sewell, Darrisaw, or Slater (or Surtain/Farley if WJ3 walks) in Rd 1, I could be on board with Freiermuth or Jordan in Rd 2.
I also like Charlie Kolar (TE Iowa St) in Rd 3-4.
