The coaches evidently really liked Kincaid from what I heard so this might not be that far fetched.

It might be worth pointing out that while guys like Kittle and Kelce were mid-round picks and turned into studs, they didn't set the league on fire immediately as rookie starters.

Kelce basically did nothing his rookie year, and Kittle only started 7 out of 15 games.
Darren Waller did basically nothing his first few years in the league.
Even Mark Andrews wasn't the primary TE his rookie year. He was splitting opportunities with Boyle and Hurst.

Only bringing this up because unless the Bengals take a 1st or 2nd round TE and force them into a high number of snaps, a draft pick may still be splitting time or serve purely as a backup TE and may take some more time to really emerge as a good starter.

If we want immediate contributions next year, we may instead want a veteran (e.g. Dalton Schultz) added if the Bengals aren't willing to invest an early pick into TE.
