You only use a 2nd round pick for a specialized player if its a pass rusher. We used a 2nd on a small lineman.
This team had more pressing issues than a run blocking TE
In the 2nd RD. The roster already had Uzomah...Eifert...Carter
Run blocking TEs can be found in 6th 7th RD.
If you are drafting a TE in RD 2 he better be able to be a threat
Catching the ball.
Sample showed none of that at Washington. If anything he's closer to being a FB than TE.
He's way too slow to be a 2nd 3rd level target
But the Bengals brilliant 3 headed monster of Tobin Taylor and Troy wanted to prove to the NFL they are so cunning and
Smart. LET'S TAKE A RUN BLOCKING TE IN A LEAGUE WHERE TEs are valued now on their ability to catch 60 to 90 passes
A year!!!
I swear this team is behind the times in regards to TE and LB.
Sample is a bust. The eye test proves it.
I could name 4 to 5 available players when Sample was drafted that this franchise had a bigger need for
