Really in the draft, this fanbase would be happy no matter who we picked I think.

I’m the sure the occasional homer tried to justify it, but “hype” idk all that.

Dropping Billings into coverage? Taking Sample in the 2nd Round? Other?

I'd love to see one about the history of Mike Brown as GM. God, is there so much material that could go into that one.

Only a rush to defend the logic of the pick and a giddiness that Zac had some say in draft picks.

That might translate to excitement for some I suppose.

-Love the pick, we will use him like Heath Miller on the stool pitt....

Watched this guy play and he impressed me and stood out. I can only name a handful of players that did this last year at the college level and he was one of them, a trucking TE that has great hands.

-Physical TE, strong blocker with the skill set that Zac Taylor is looking for.


-Agree very physical and I like that Taylor prints on this pic.. he can catch not sure why people think he can;t just not the speed TE..

-Best Tackle in the first and one of the top TE-Ys in the second...I think Zac Taylor wants to run the football.

Edit: Sample actually reminds me of the new Bengals TE coach..James Casey.

-Drew Sample is one of the best blocking tight ends in the draft. This selection helps the offensive line immediately.

-Bengals board had him higher so guess we will see. One thing you can;t say now is that our HC does not have voice in the draft room.. this is total Taylor printed pick in what he wants in the offense plus you could argue TE was as weak or more weak than LB coming into draft...
