Ultimately I think they will draft someone to replace Hurst( Woods,Kolar,McBride etc) and prob resign Sample to a cheap contract. If they really do want McBride tho they may have to take him at 31 because he won't be there at 63.
In reality, Sample should have been a Day 3 pick. We all knew that and many (including myself) were upset he was taken so early.
I think Bellinger has potential and does fit what the Bengals look for:
- proven blocker
- high athleticism to give optimism of becoming a good receiver
Bengals might think they have the time to allow for grooming someone like Bellinger given they have Hurst and Sample this year. They could always add a stopgap next year too while a late-round TE continues to develop.
