Too many quality receivers to warrant real focus from opposing defense, and on the flip side too many good receivers to warrant more than a handful of targets a game.
Probably correct, the only way a TE would have a banner year here is if one or two of our WR's go down most likely.

No, because the Bengals still won every game without him. Not having a #1 TE made no difference. Not only did the team not have their #1 TE Hurst at the end of the year they didnt have their #2 Drew Sample and they still finished on a 10 game win streak. The talk about needing these great TEs is nonsense. It is a waste of resources. Go out and get a decent free agent and the team will be fine. Spend your resources elsewhere where it is really needed.
Completely understand, I think most of us are just going off the fact that the Bengals have been meeting with the top TE's in the
Draft so it looks like we are going to draft one, same with RB's. But RT is what needs to be addressed, Eluemunor and Darnell Wright
and I am all good with a TE and a RB following these additions.
