The Bengals impressed with how well they did in the 2021 NFL Draft but the only thing they really whiffed on was not addressing the tight end position. They had 10 draft picks and failed to draft a tight end with any of those picks.
According to John Breech of CBS Sports, not drafting a tight end was the only thing the Bengals did wrong during the 2021 NFL Draft.
Breech offered this analysis as to why,
One of the Bengals biggest needs going into the draft was at tight end and for some reason, they decided to completely ignore the position even though they had TEN picks in the draft.
