also here is a good comparison.. people say we are weak at TE.. but how do we know how the young talent is going to do.. Barnidge would not even be around for discussion with that thinking.. look at his first six years.. 44 receptions.. that is it.. 

So lets see how our draft picks develop instead of just saying they are not productive... maybe they will develop even better than Barnidge did and im sure probably faster. 

4 deep at TE and 4 deep with GOOD TE are two very different things.

Kroft 2016: 14 games(11 starts), 10 catches/92 yards/0 TD
Hewitt 2016: 16 games(11 starts), 2 catches/13 yards/0 TD
CJ Uzomah 2016: 10 games(8 starts), 25 catches/234 yards/0 TD
Tyler Eifert 2016: 8 games(2 starts), 29 catches/394 yards/5 TD

Schreck: A 2017 PS player.

The only person who is better on that list than Barnidge is Eifert, and Eifert is only better if he's healthy, which thus far is extremely unlikely to be for an entire season.

Last I checked, the Bengals were trying to get BETTER, not younger.
