Pretty sure the only people making fun of the Bengal picks are right here.

Nobody outside of Bengal-dom cares who we're picking.

Do the Bengals?

Sample seems gritty, maybe lower ceiling than some of the move TE guys, but likely to contribute. Pratt is promising in coverage, just needs some coaching up. This team is going to be fun to watch. 

According to info I saw posted in the Drew Sample welcome thread he received the highest run blocking grade of any TE in this draft according to PFF.

1 pt for Bfine. 

Now for the 64 million dollar question. Can you name 1 more?

That says it all, right there.  The Cleveland Browns are more nationally-relevant than we are.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Take a good luck at Pats drafts the past 10 years and what do you see. A lot of players not high on the radar, but lots of picks and BB drafts football players, guys that love the game and fill roles.

Maybe that is us now, we will see.

First choice of UDFA's.

Combining our 5th and top 6th pick should bring us up to the middle of the 4th. 

Might be some value at RB and special teams guys.

And one of their only questionable position groups was DB, and guess what? They took a guy most casual fans have actually heard of!

Get over what? It was a dumb pick and i called it a dumb pick. What is there to get over?

So now we’re buying into the concept that by taking guys no one has ever heard of but who love to play the game so HARD they can’t see straight, we can replicate the Patriots success.

This should have been tried years ago.

If your little feelings get hurt so easily, you probably shouldn’t be a Bengals fan. Go jump on the Steeler bandwagon. The Browns are very popular right now too

Gronks the best blocking TE ever.

Dallas Goedert was a second round pick and was rated fifth best blocking tight end last year by PFF. Does that count?

(I know it doesn't.)

It only took us 20 years to realize the Patriots knew what they were doing.

Super. Wake me up when they actually win something.

And that's coming from me - a Bengals fan! Bengals fans can talk down to the Browns for never winning anything lol.

Zach Ertz is a TE-Y drafted in the second round.
