Bengals' 2013 Draft Sets Andy Dalton Up for Third Year Success
What is the one thing you need to make an NFL quarterback successful? You need more than one player-maker on the offensive end. During the 2013 NFL Draft, the Cincinnati Bengals made it clear that they are ready to succeed at the next level. When I say at the next level, I mean in the playoffs. For the last two years, this team’s nightmare has been the Houston Texans for both...
The NFL Draft Confirms that it's Good to be "Tight End U"
When the Cincinnati Bengals selected Tyler Eifert as the 21st overall pick in the 2013 NFL draft, he became the first of six tight ends taken in the top 100 picks. He also became the second tight end the Bengals have drafted in the first round in recent years, joining 2010 first-rounder Jermaine Gresham.

2013 NFL Draft: Tyler Eifert Scooped Up by Bengals
The Cincinnati Bengals grabbed the best tight end in the 2013 draft in Tyler Eifert despite the presence of Jermaine Gresham on their roster.Fantasy Spin:Eifert has excellent size at 6-foot-5 and plays like a big receiver. He's particularly adept at winning jump-ball situations. He should be valuable in the red zone, but his overall fantasy value will be limited as the third...
Cincinnati Bengals Select Zach Eifert in First Round
1.21 Cincinnati Bengals Tyler Eifert, TE, Notre Dame, (6-6, 251)
In perhaps a surprising move by the Bengals, they select Eifert with their first round pick in the 2013 draft. The Bengals already have Jermaine Gresham, so they’re expected to turn to many two tight end sets, which could work very well with the skill set of Andy Dalton.
Eifert is a tight end that can step in right...
Cincinnati Bengals Sign TE Alex Smith
NFL News: On Tuesday the Cincinnati Bengals signed free agent tight end Alex Smith to an undisclosed contract. Better known for his blocking skills rather than his ability to be an open receiver, Smith will be behind starter Jermaine Gresham on the depth chart.

Focus On: Tight Ends
The trend toward receiving tight ends not only makes game sense, it also makes business sense. TEs cost half (or less) of what WRs cost. When a team can get a guy who is a physical mismatch at half the price of play-making WR, what’s not to like about the guy?

Pics: What happened on D’Qwell Jackson’s unnecessary roughness penalty?

There was some mystery surrounding a penalty in which the TV broadcast didn’t do a good job of going back to show you what happened. Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton was wrapped up and sacked, and...
