Darnell would’ve allowed us to run a lot of plays where the edge TE is supposed to block the star edge rusher. I’m honestly surprised we passed on him. Dont get me wrong I’m glad we found Awuzies replacement but i just think Washington would’ve impacted the offense more than Turner is gonna impact the D this year. Darnell would’ve immediately been our best blocking TE in an offense that asks its TEs to make some orettt difficult blocks

Agree with this and really could have taken Washington instead of Battle if just not trading back and had Washington and Turner.. Not sure trading back helped much either per thinking the punter selected would have still been available in the 7th. 

Oh well, really like all the players the Bengals selected and its not a slight on them, just think Washington would have been a perfect fit here.
