I'm starting to think you are the one who isn't the fan or watches games. Do you know we often run 3 and sometimes 4 WR sets? Do you know that our WR's don't seem to be able to stay healthy and on the field? Do you know that two of them are in the final year of their deals? So yes, a 2nd round WR would have been on the field way more than a 3rd string TE. And you can get a block TE on the waiver wire or free agency if you really needed it, or another in the 6th round.
Look, it's all opinion and we won't know for 3 years, but this looks like a really poor draft to me for the reasons discussed. Let's just hope we can get a couple average starters out of it and then tank the season and try again next year with a higher pick.
Hard it today's NFL to define starters in the old traditional way. I think the goal of the staff is to have Sample have equal snaps to Eifert. If so, Sample is not a 3rd string TE, my guess is he starts many offensive series and Eifert watches. Time will tell, but our best blocking TE will play more than some think is my guess.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
