Please explain that one to me.

Higgins is a WR1 on most teams. Does well what a TE usually does, high points the ball. Higgins has half as many 1000 yard seasons as Gronk in 1/3 the years. 

Boyd (as a 2nd/3rd target most of his career) has 5 800+ yard seasons. Gronk has 6.

Literally the only stat I can see where Gronk is better consistently is TDs. And Gronk was the primary target in those years.

Give me Higgins (and to a lesser extent Boyd) for the O we run. Our O (while could adjust and I assume would have if we had went Pitts over JC) is stronger with WRs. Its likely a reason we went with Irwin to replace Chase over Wilcox in 2TE sets.

Now, don't take this as I think your idea is bad, I just think its better to hit multiple weaknesses than getting the hometown kid just because he's the hometown kid and a Bengals fan.
