2- Sample was 5th on the team in receiving yards last year. I think CJ could have been 3rd in receiving yards if he hadn't gotten injured, but there is a small sample size of two games.


None of this TE talk will matter if Burrow doesn't have time to throw the ball. Fix that before you start chasing the shiny weapons. 

By that same sense then, you don't NEED a WR to be a Top 10 WR.
But I would argue that Higgins and Boyd are closer to being Top 10 WRs than the Bengals TEs are to being Top 10 at their position.

Also, let's not act like the Bengals can't get a good OL on Day 2 to help give Burrow more time. It's not "Sewell, Slater, or bust."


I'm fine waiting until next year for TE, but I dunno if there will be a TE of the same caliber as Pitts in next year's draft.
