The Cincinnati Bengals could really use a do-it-all tight-end.

They've got specialists on the roster, and this is a deep tight-end class to get it done.

Let's talk tight-end targets by day of the draft if the Bengals choose to use a pick there in the 2026 NFL draft.

What up, Bengals fans, and welcome to another episode of the Locked-on Bengals podcast.

I'm your host, Jake Liscoe, joined today by tight- guy Max Tiscano. He covers tight ends extensively, extensively, and almost exclusively,

but also thinks quite a bit about our Cincinnati Bengals. So a great crossover there. You can

find his work. And remember the tight ends and with Matt Harmon's reception, where Max

Descano is now doing the tight end charting. And Max, the reason that I think you're great

for this is that you spend so much time on this position. You have made it your niche,

your specialty. And while I don't think there's really a great shot, the Bengals are going to draft

Kenyon Sadiq, the only tight end expected to be picked in the first round or expected to have a chance

to be picked in the first round this year. There is a real chance that the Bengals draft a tight end this

year, especially with Eric Al's injury status, still being up in the airs. He's still recovering

from that ACL procedure hopes

to be back this year and says he'll be back this year and I'm wishing him the best in that but

kind of have to see how that's going to go and like I said the Bengals are very specialized in their

tight end room without Eric Al especially and this is a draft class that offers you some do it

all tight ends especially when you get

to where the Bengals could be picking one. That could be as early as round three, but I'd be a little

surprise. Maybe round four, round six would be some good spots for the Bengals to invest in the position.
