Winner: Irv Smith Jr, TE

I’m stunned that the Bengals picked two wide receivers but no tight ends in the 2023 NFL Draft. They have a loaded wide receiver group with Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Tyler Boyd but an empty tight end depth chart behind Smith Jr. I always liked Smith Jr as a prospect, especially early in his NFL career.
