I said in our Draft Section, don't be so sure about TE. Bengals may take Best Available Athlete on the board that falls to them late in Round One
Also, consider this. After Bengals reign Burrow, Chase, Higgins, there may not be cap space to resign Hendrickson down the road. Think of the Draft as also planning for years past 2023.
A top 20 player fell to Bengals who happens to be a true sized DE, not a tweener at LB. A top rated DE. Bengals took him and it could be a real steal considering how late Bengals drafted. After Super Bowl and then AFC Championship seasons, I'm not going to question Bengals who have been making all the right moves last few years.
GO BENGALS
Nfl.com had him graded as the 11th prospect overall. Great value.
