PFF on draft success '06-'16

[Mike M (the other one)]

I think he was drafted in the 2nd because typically TE's are heavily drafted in the 3rd round and the Bengals might have felt he wouldn't still be there when it was their turn in the 3rd.

But never the less, we need to give him a little bit of time to develop. He was a slight project from the start, but with decent athleticism, so we have to wait and see what happens. And I'm all for giving him the chance first, unlike some apparently.
