If we had a tight end like Bowers, I'm sure Zac would make him the #2 target.
We had Hurst here, who was a first round pick (20s) and he had the second most catches of his career here (only four less than the most) and he played in three less games.
Bowers is a hell of a lot better than Hurst and, if we have Bowers, Burrow's not going to just sit back and let Zac not use him.x
Furthermore, Zac would have a say in the draft and isn't going to let Duke draft someone if he has no intentions of utilizing him.
Burrow knows that the line still likely won't be great, especially if we don't get rid of Pollack, so he'll want a tight end like Bowers as an outlet.
