I just dont get it with him at all. To me he is a 4th-5th rounder who can be a second blocking TE on a team and a goal line threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me he is a 4th-5th rounder who can be a second blocking TE on a team and a goal line threat. He's more than that, I see how you can get that view of him because that's how he was used at UGA but that is because he was playing with a future top 10 pick in the 2024 draft, Brock Bowers. If given the opportunity Washington can be a TE1 in the NFL, he has all the tools. He's big, strong, fast, and can catch. He's a great blocker, can run after the catch, and is a mis-match nightmare on LB's or Safety's..no one wants to tackle this big dude in the open field with a full head of steam coming at them. Imo, he's the best TE in the class for the NFL game as he has the highest ceiling, I compare him to Rob Gronkowski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 I'd like Wright or Dawand Jones in round 1 but wouldn't complain if we took Washington or Mayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|BlackJesus| Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 TE Zach Kuntz is one of my favorite prospects in the draft ... (3-4th rd). He has insane measurables and athleticism, and he's 6'7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|westside bengal| Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 For me Mayer is only TE I would consider at 28 and it would be based on what OT are there to choose from. We lost a Super Bowl and a chance to play in one because of the Oline talent and lack of backup personnel. All the talk about a new TE is great but remember we are replacing Hurst not Gronkowski. Fix the Oline first. I have done several mocks and took 28 OL and 60 OL and still got a decent TE and RB and might have double dipped on RB.

Jamie_B Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 Mayer is the only guy I would consider in round 1 After that there are a number of round 2 guys I'd be fine with The Locked on Guys said Mayer gets a lot of Jason Whitten comps, but they said his testing is very comparable to Mark Andrews.

And if we look at our future in terms of the use of cap - we are going to lock up 3 significant offensive pieces at high numbers. To me that means positions like TE and RB need to be lower drfat picks and/or free agents. For the forseeable future I would investing all or primarily all high (top 3 or 4 rounds) picks in the OL, DL and at CB. Othr positions are fillers via later picks and free agents. Our D only needs to be good, not great, as long as we have Joe and a solid OL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In today's NFL you definitely need 3 decent CBs, especially a slot one (like Hilton). The key to the Bengals defensive success has been they had CTB as a 3rd CB before Chido's injury made him a starter, and also had Flowers for TEs --> so 5 above average CBs, which is why they need to bring him back at least, if not Apple too.

sparky151 Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 Yeah, you can never have too many good CBs. Sidney Jones signed a 1 year veteran minimum benefit deal, meaning he's no sure thing to even make the roster. He'll be competing with George and Davis for the CB5 or 6 spot. At least he would be if Apple and Flower re-signed. Flowers was in Carolina earlier in the week so maybe he gets an offer from them he likes better than his niche role with the Bengals. At the moment, the depth chart looks like Awuzie-Jones CTB-George Hilton-Davis We'll use an early pick on a CB as Awuzie's replacement and in case he's not ready for week 1. I'd take a CB in round 2 or 3 to replace Jones and re-sign Apple or Flowers to replace George. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie_B Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 Resiging Sample is a good move. Gives us room to not be forced into a TE early. And if the TE we draft is later it gives the rookie time to develop at a position that takes longer to develop than most other positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 I know a lot can't stand him based on where he was picked, but he does fill a valuable role in this offense and he knows the offense well as the blocking TE. Glad he's back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|BlackJesus| Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 I am ok with bringing Sample back. He's basically a small OT, who can occasionally catch in the flat. But if Mayer is there at 28, they will still likely take him. So this doesn't change much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 It means they likely don't double dip - fine by me. Get a future TE1, run with that guy and Smith and then Sample at blocking TE and it is a good room for 2023. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky151 Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 I'll bet Sample's deal is for 1.08 mil and it's a vet minimum benefit deal that counts 940K on the cap. He'll probably be TE3 on the depth chart with Smith at TE2 and a rookie at TE1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_C_Deadpeople Posted April 15, 2023 Report Share Posted April 15, 2023 Sample is a perfect TE3 or 2 in a pinch, no issue with the signing, Smart move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
