Burrow was really looking at Hurst as a reliable option against the constant cover 2 shame Hurst missed those games. As for drafting TE's the Bengals have tended to look for that position in the early rounds and it isn't a stretch to see how a TE with talent could become a big role with Burrow at QB.

Exactly, and Mayer is head-and-shoulders above both Gresham one Eifert (as well as Hurst, obviously).

Mayer will help destroy cover 2s by being a threat up the seam and all over the field, and then it's like do you single cover Chase or Mayer and, either way, you have Higgins on the other side and still have to worry about keeping defenders near the line to stop Mixon.
