I already said, more than once, that he's a good player to have on the team and i think he has potential to do more in the passing game than he did at Washington, since they didn't really use him much.
But...
I'll say it again.
Whether or not the Bengals have (i already forgot his name, that's how inconsequential i veiw him) that TE guy on the team, is not going to help decide whether the Bengals are good or not.
They wasted a 2nd round pick when it more likely than not that he was going to be there a couple rounds later.
For those keeping score, two other TEs were taken after the Bengals pick. Both in the 3rd round. Both pass catching TEs.
Guess what round is coming up next tomorrow?
Guess where the Bengals pick?
Nobody has any idea where he would end up going had we not picked him. It's all just conjecture and guesswork. If the Bengals liked him enough and felt he was worth it, go for it. It didn't cost them any LBs. Looking at the guys who went in between their picks, it might have cost them a fourth string WR or DB or a rotational DL. I bet they get more use out of Sample than they would had they taken most of those guys.
And I get it, maybe those other guys have more upside than Sample and you get more from them a year or two down the road. On that, I'll just have to defer to the coaches.
