I think if they go safety early, it will indicate a plan for Bates and/or Bell leaving after this season.

Any chance they shock the NFL mock-draft experts and pick a TE at #31? There usually seems to be many surprise moves and picks on day one. Maybe this year we make the surprise move?

Additional thought, how is Hurst going to handle the Bengals drafting a TE if it happens? I watched his press conference and he was talking about how previous coaches mislead him about his opportunities, and how he trusts that Zac is going to get him on the field and use his abilities. He reinforced he was a 1st round draft pick and knows he has the talent to start and do well in the NFL. Will Hurst embrace competition or believe the Bengals mislead him if a TE is drafted? I didn't sense any uh-oh alarms from Hurst, but at times I thought he was a bit over the top about coaches in Baltimore and Atlanta misleading him.

I'm starting to really, really, really like McBride.
