There's been a lot of talk about Kyle Pitts in the 1st. Hear me out on this because i've pushed back on it, a lot, in the past.

I think we have a Kyle Pitts already on the roster and i think you may know where i'm going with this. 


Auden Tate. 


Get someone on the staff to work with him this entire offseason, nutritionist, lifting program, concept, route running. Get him to add 10-12lbs to his frame and there's no more posts about Tate, his value and what he is. It solves the problem of getting him on the field with other WR ahead of him (yeeeeeees, because of his speed) and it gives you a reliable hands tweener TE, like Pitts. 

This is the kind of thing other teams do on occasion and it would be nice to watch all the segments on how a Bengals converted WR is tearing it up at TE next year and i think it upgrades the TE position without having to use a pick.

I was pretty against this idea when people kept suggesting it, but honestly Tate isn’t really working out as a WR. I really thought he’d take the next step this season, especially with Burrow here, but he just didn’t take advantage. I’m not sure he’s ever going to be WR3 material.

And for what it’s worth I know he’s said he’s be willing to move to TE.
