I don't ever advocate drafting by need, but obviously we need to find a TE, RT and a CB in the waning stages of FA or in the draft.  I just have a hard time seeing where he is the best player available if they stay at 28.

If Washington is there in the second then fine take a TE because he is a real freak. However, I feel a guy in the 3rd like Tucker Kraft fits what the Bengals do perfectly. 

Just my take on it. I would like to see us sign Foster Moreau and really swing the draft wide open.

4 of the last 5 Tight Ends drafted by the Bengals have been top 100 picks with 2 drafted in the first round. The only Tight End that wasnt a top 100 pick was CJ Uzomah and that was the year they doubled down with Kraft and Uzomah.
