Adam Shaheen Ashland,
Eric Saubert Drake
Mike Roberts Toledo
Bucky Hodges Virginia Tech

If you want a blocker, then
George Kittle Iowa.


Combo:
Jonnu Smith Florida International
Gerald Everett South Alabama

And some others I haven't even named yet. The experts don't seem to be kidding about how deep the talent at TE is in this year's draft. No need to spend a 1st on a TE this year.

Shaheen, Saubert, Roberts, Hodges haven't shown the blocking Howard has, nor do they have QUITE as elite athleticism.
Kittle is really just a backup blocking TE. Nowhere near the athleticism or pass catching ability as most of the TEs in this class.

Gerald Everett, while talented, played in an inferior conference and is too small for what the Bengals prefer in TEs. I've seen comparisons to Delanie Walker and Quincy Enunwa.
If the Bengals were to look outside of their mold for TE and can land him in the 3rd, it could be a good selection. But I still think they want their TEs bigger than 6'3" and 239 lbs.
