Seems to me that everyone wants to project a pass catching TE to the Bengals, like it's somehow going to inspire Zac Taylor to change his offensive philosophy.
What I think, is that if you swapped your order of picking TE and CB, it might look a bit closer to what the Bengals might actually do, if they opted to trade all the way back to pick 32.
It was not really about a pass catching TE as much as it was the value at the point of selection. Jordan is one heck of a weapon at that point in the draft and one that creates mismatches. With an arm like Burrow you can never have too many weapons and the versatility Jordan brings does not require a change in philosophy for Taylor.
