The Cincinnati Bengals fanbase had their eyes set on Notre Dame tight end Michael Mayer as the team was called to the stage with the 28th pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.
Instead, they opted for Clemson Tigers defensive end Myles Murphy and ultimately did not draft a tight end at all.
While many complained initially, Murphy seems to be the quintessential addition for a team that didn’t have the necessary depth at that position.
With Irv Smith Jr. and Drew Sample as the lone tight ends set to make an impact on the roster, there’s concern that position needs more depth as well.
