Fans wanted a TE, they got a TE. Bengals have TE's, so this pick doesn't have to start right at first. They can coach him up. Bob Trumpy once said that Tight Ends as he was are great on Special Teams also. Big, Fast, Run, Block, Tackle, Catch on Special Teams. NFL Network compared him to Uzomah as to what he could do for Bengals.
Bengals have a big O Line like 49ers now, and they have a bunch of big TE's. The Bengals on goal line and 3rd and short have the Big Boys to line up with O Line and a bunch of TE's and Powerhouse. I wouldn't mind seeing them take a huge DT and use him as 1985 Bears used The Fridge Perry. On goal line, huge blockers and a 300 pound guy with the football is hard to stop for no gain.
TE was a strength in 2021 and 2022 and a weakness in 2023. I look for TE to be a strength again in 2024, and it needs to be to run The Zac Offense. That free agent TE in 2023 didn't pan out, and he is gone. Bengals added a 2024 free agent TE and still have Sample and others and now this draft pick. A TE reload for 2024.
