The Bengals absolutely need to improve from last year. They were 30th in red zone efficiency. Higgins and Boyd combined for all of 10 TD’s on the year. Tate and Thomas are bench players at best. The two TE’s had one TD each. Clearly, the WR and TE rooms lack both talent and depth. What happens when a starter goes down. It gets ugly quick.
We’ll see we’re they end up post-FA but a significant player is heavily needed. I can’t get on board with the thought that a receiver/TE at #5 is a “luxury”. They get Golladay and this isn’t a conversation. We didn’t.
Sewell’s pro-day looms large. He puts on a show, he is likely not going to be there at #5 anyway. Trading down is an armchair GM favorite tool. Unfortunately, the FO isn’t very good at this.
The fact the Bengals media says we’re taking Sewell more than likely means they are heavily exploring other options. No one believes what team media says this time of year anyway (or shouldn’t).
