I guess when I got to thinking about Eifert's latest injury, and read that he was having surgery, it got me to really thinking about him and the future. Then, when I get to looking at the depth chart and start thinking about "What if we're forced to roll with those guys?", panic starts to roll in. I mean, at first glance Uamah has the physical tools to be a modern star, but watching him in action he shows all the passion and enthusiasm of a guy who would rather be chillin' at home. Kroft? Sure, he's a decent blocker, but only a mild threat as a receiver.
Despite whatever amount of work they do on Eifert at the body shop, that machine ain't ever going back to showroom condition. Every injury and recovery takes a toll, they add up. To me, the perceived need for a TE is real. It's time to start looking for Eifert's successor, now. Doesn't need to be a 1st or 2nd round guy, or even have to be a day 1 starter. The more I think about how the Bengals like to run offensively, the more I like the guy from Toledo.
I agree which is kinda why I'm worried the best player on the board at #8 might be another CB like Humphrey or Tabor.
