Hanging their hats on  a guy who hasnt shown abilty to stay healthy and another guy who shouldnt be on field unless asked to only block.
I know this has been debated at nauseum on this board  but its still a head scratcher to me why they didnt grab a TE later in draft. 
Ive read all the reasons why but honestly I just dont agree. What burns me is Pitt now has Friermuth (spelling?) and now Washington(who they selected a few picks ahead of us) ...they could be seriously loaded at TE if Washington works out which I have a feeling he will.   
 

I'm definitely not experienced enough to get onto any professional scout team, but I can't see how the Bengals didn't think Washington would not have been a good pick at 92. Elite blocking, which Bengals need and love. Promising albeit not overly polished route running, but his ceiling is higher than anyone the Bengals have right now. And he arguably would be a better player out of the gate than Sample and Asiasi. He should have been the pick in Rd 3 instead of the trade-back, IMO.
