Would u rather them go WR or TE in the second if u had to chose and value was the same for both at that spot?

If the TE available could block and leak out to catch passes in the mid-range game, and was big (not the 6'2" Irv Smith), then I would prefer that over a comparable WR. Because I would put a premium on protecting Burrow and keeping the chains moving. But complete TEs might be hard to find in the 17th slot in the 2nd (the Bengals would move up one slot each round, since they were tied with other teams, so the 49th overall pick in the 2nd round).
