My point is that a TE can come in and be a solid contributor as a rookie, which Gresham was.
Eifert put up 445 yards and 2 TDs at a 65% catch percentage his rookie season.
I think you're worrying too much about whether a rookie TE can contribute, but if they can block well and make a decent amount of catches in the passing game, they'll contribute enough IMO.
bengals are in win now mode. A first round selection on a good blocking TE with 400 yard potential isnt worth the selection IMO
