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.

You are locked on Bengals, your daily Cincinnati Bengals podcast, part of The Lockdown Podcast

Network, your team, every day.

What up, Bengals fans and welcome to another episode of The Lockdown Bengals Podcast.

I'm your host, Jake Lisco, joined today by Tight Ends Guy, Max Tuscano.

He covers tight ends extensively, exhaustively and almost exclusively, but also thinks quite

a bit about our Cincinnati Bengals.

A great crossover there.

You can find his work at Remember the Tight ends with Matt Harmon's Reception Perception

where Max Tuscano 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 Kenyansadeek, 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's a real chance that the Bengals draft a tight end this year, especially with Eric

Ols injury status, still being up in the air.

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.

The Bengals are very specialized in their tight end room without Eric Ols, especially.

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 surprised.

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

but given that they're not going to draft Kenyansadeek, almost certainly.

We won't spend a ton of time on his profile as a day one guy, but instead let's start

with how you look at this position because I'm sure the way the Bengals run this position drives

you crazy is I know you're a guy that really believes in the do-it-all tight end.

You know, it's so interesting that you say that.

I actually think the Bengals understand.

I just don't think that they've been able to get that guy.

I think they tried to get that guy with Eric Ols and we've run into injuries and that's been

really so unfortunately a consistent thing for him because he's really such a really solid

player and he has been for, I mean, ever since that second year at Michigan, right, when he

really started to break out, he just couldn't, he's just hasn't been able to stay healthy and

especially it's all the same stuff with the knees, which gives you that recurrence concern

as we've seen. So, you know, I like their approach there.

I like how they deploy these guys because they understand what they fundamentally need on

every down, right? And it's not just about receiving ability because that would just be the

equivalent of putting a six-six shooting guard at center because you want a center that can shoot,

right? Like, there's a diminishing return there that's a whole different thing and the tight end

is a different thing from wide receiver. So, they know that what they need to balance out their

offense and to create more opportunity for their passing game that they know teams are going to

sell out against, right? And it's not even really about just creating that opportunity, but

in the games where you're playing a Mike McDonald or somebody who can really run

that complex coverage world and get in and out of different stuff really, really well and make

it hard for you while rushing the passer because we know Borough can see through disguises and get

to the right answers, but he can't do it while he's being rushed. And when you can orient your

defense entirely around the pass, you can do both of those things. You can make, create your front

to rush the passer and be really confusing and multiple on the back end at the same time.

And so that's just a really, really hard way to live down to down. And the Bengals do it because

of how good they are at drop-back passing. They're the best team in the league at it. But it's on

a situational level. It gets really, really hard. And so what they've done over the last couple

of years is they've shifted a little bit from guys like Hayden Hurst and Irv Smith being their

starter. And I think they've really learned from that. And now it's true sample because they don't

need another pass catcher. They need that sixth element of the offensive line because that's

what the tight end is in the run game no matter who that guy is when he's in that true tight end

role. So I think their approach has been good. They just haven't gotten the guy.

And as a result, they're left with two main guys, one of whom is a wide receiver and the other

whom of whom is an offensive lineman. And you kind of don't really have a tight end.

Yeah, that's exactly how I see it too. They've got a primary blocking tight end and a backup blocking

tight end and they've got a primary wide receiver tight end and a backup wide receiver tight end.

That's what the backups look like too. And we'll see what Eric all can do. But as you're evaluating

guys in this draft class or last year, you were part of our draft sheet last year. You were our

tight end guy for that project last year too. And I think a lot of the guys that you had high grades

on played a whole lot of football last year. And in some cases played really well last year.

This year, you have a number of grades that are not too far off of some of the top guys last year.

How is your process evolved? What are the things that you're looking for when you're thinking about

these are the best tight end prospects this year? Yeah, I'm looking for completeness, right? I'm

looking for tight ends. And I think that the ability to occupy that starting tight end spot

on a consistent basis is critical because when you're especially at this position, I think

every position, but especially at this one, when you're looking at prospects and comparing

prospects, you shouldn't be comparing prospects in a vacuum. You should be constructing your unit

in your head with all of those guys in mind and just going guy by guy. And that's when you run into

the things that offensive coordinators are going to run into when it comes to deploying these guys.

So you can, a good example is Dalton King Kate in Buffalo, right? He's one of the best peer

receiving tight ends in the NFL, but he isn't quite at that level where you can play him in that

flex role full time because you do need an inline tight end on standard downs because you can't run

the ball without it. You just don't have enough guys on line of scrimmage and then defense is just

don't have to commit to the box. So you need that guy. So the only place you can put him is

in place of a third receiver because you only have 11 guys, right? You're going to have the

o-line. You're going to have the quarterback. You're going to have the running back and you're

probably going to have two receivers. So at that point, there's just one guy in the tight end.

You're going to have one guy left. So there's an opportunity cost there and what you figure out is

that if he's just blocking safeties and nickels and getting in the way, you can have a receiver do

that and then you're grading him on a whole different curve. So you have to, you have to create

your unit in your head. So what I'm looking for is a guy that I can pencil into my starting tight

end spot and put him there in as many situations as possible. So if this is a guy that can, if I want

to be an 11 personnel and three wide receivers on first down, 60% of the time, which still most

teams are going to do, I want to be able to put that guy there without sacrificing my run game and

then turning every first and 10 into third and eight. So that's obviously something that the

Bengals are trying to do. And when Eric all was healthy, you saw the difference that he made in

the way the Bengals attack the run game, the kinds of things the Bengals did in the run game. And

that's the kind of thing you're looking to get back to. And ideally, you're looking to build

depth there. Even if you do get Eric all back, wouldn't it be great to have a guy that could

supplement and be depth to Eric all? And I do wonder if the Bengals kind of see this position

as a bit of a luxury the way that they've approached drafting it where there are a lot of tight ends

they've liked but haven't necessarily liked where they got picked and they would have taken that

guy around later, let's say, or have felt like they needed to devote resources to other positions

instead of some of the good players we've seen at the tight end position in recent years. And

so I do wonder how they prioritize it. I do wonder how much value they will put on it in the draft

this year. But I do think there's a real chance that they'd look at that position and try to add

there and that's why we're going to talk about it. And Max, let's dive into some of the specific

players. Let's talk about whether you think that there is a player worth one of those Bengals day

two picks and some of the details about those guys as we dive deep into some of the tight end

prospects this year coming up next. It's tax time but for a lot of us the old way of doing taxes

is a lot. You're trying to book an appointment that's not the most convenient sitting in a waiting

room and an accounting firm with a sack of papers emailing back and forth and wondering

Max, let's talk about some specific players here. Like I said, we're not going to talk about

Kenyansadeek a ton today. But give me the quick rundown on Sadeek. I think he is the consensus

top titan in this class. I think he has some very tantalizing athletic skills, especially as a

vertical player. And I mean that both in terms of leaving the earth and just running in a straight

line. And he's I think a pretty impressive blocker in a lot of ways as well. Does that align with

how you see Kenyansadeek coming out? Yes. Yeah. In a way. I mean, I do think you have to be

impressed by the blocking to an extent because the technique is really, really good. And the effort

and willingness are so off the charts, like he's exactly what every titan coach dreams of as far

as a kid who's willing to not just block, but block well and block with intention and work on it

in the off season and take his technique seriously. But the issue with the translation that I have is

blocking for a wide receiver or a pure flex guy who's just off the ball is really about effort

and getting in the way and tenacity. But blocking on the line of scrimmage as a tight end is

you're run blocking as an offensive lineman. Your assignments are not different. You fall

the same covered uncovered rules. If there's a dn head up on you that you know that that's going

to be your guy. So it's about more than that at that point. And it is about raw strength and

technique and the issue with the tight end position relative to those other the other five other

offensive lineman in the run game is that this is one that is a physical mismatch relative to those

other guys. So you have to clear certain size and strength thresholds that you're already

no matter who the tight end is unless you're like Darnell Washington you're already at the bottom

of them. So his 241 pound weigh in is pretty concerning. And while he does have huge legs which is

where he gets a lot of his his ability to to create a little bit of initial push he struggles to

control defenders because I think the upper body is just so slender. And he just he just doesn't have

that that thickness and a heft through the center to me where I can be confident that the technique

and effort are going to be enough. So at that point like if you can't if you just can't physically

block in line as a tight end then we're we're in the Dalton King K proposition and I devalue those

guys always unless they are able unless they're so good at that that they're able to play in every

down roll as a flex receiver like Brock Bowers but those guys are so so so rare. And I don't think

he's one of them because honestly as a route runner there are huge questions. He doesn't decelerate

very effectively. He's pretty stiff. He's inefficient changing direction. And so while the speed

is fantastic it just that just in isolation doesn't do anything for you. I think it helps him

it's a linear threat like off the line of scrimmage behind the linebackers in the flats and stuff

and as we know he's he's awesome after the catch with his quickness and acceleration and the

ability to jump over buildings but you know there's just on a down and down basis I just I think

there are a lot of holes here and while I do think he's a really interesting prospect the first

round tight end threshold needs to be really really high and it's got to be guys like the guys we

saw last year and this is not that. I do wonder just on the topic of upper body strength size he

is 21 potentially some room for him to still add a little bit of weight and a healthy way over time

there are a number of guys we're going to talk about in this class that are more mid 20s than

early 20s and those bodies are a little bit more kind of what they're going to be at that point

you expect a 25 year old not to say that there's an impossibility of growth if you're 25 listening

out there and you want to get bigger in the gym you probably can but when you're at the level

these guys are out with their training programs you tend to get a little bit more maxed out frames

maxed out bodies when the players are a little bit older but let's talk about whether there is

a target on day two a guy that is expected to be picked on day two who you think that is a

place where you would pick them as well as max player entering that conversation because when we

look at consensus the only guys that have a consensus grade day two ranking by all those

boards out there that were tracking are Eli Stowers who is not the the do it all tight end fit that

I really even want to talk about for the Bengals more of that receiver type and maybe is even

talking about listing as a receiver or people are asking like why doesn't he just call himself a

receiver but maxed player out of Ohio State is he a guy that you think is potentially worthy of

consideration in the third round say you know yeah I think Claire is really interesting because

there are there are the last two years have been so different for him and I'm not just talking

about from a production perspective I think he looks like he put on a little bit of weight

between Purdue and Ohio State and he didn't look quite as explosive and athletic but

you know there were times where he kind of did and you never know if he was dealing with something

nagging on and off and he still was pretty good so I kind of wanted to see him test at

the 245 that he kind of weighs at now and he didn't so that leaves a little bit it's not that

that's necessarily a red flag it's just a lack of assurance but like his Purdue tape is to me is

like unbelievably good it's really really good he's explosive he's fluid he's quick he's really

really quick he decelerates well he's he's got a little bit of juice after the catch and the blocking

for a kid who was at that point in his third year of college and a sophomore in Elgin wait no he

was either he was young he was young just drowning in these in these eligibility he's now 23 he'll

be about 23 just shy of 23 when he's drafted everybody's so old man but no yeah you know I think

given how young he was at the time similar to Cedique the how he blocked was really really

impressive and I think he even showed a little bit more well I mean he was probably pretty similar

to where Cedique was at but he did put on a little bit of weight so I think that and I think he

has a little bit more stockiness in the upper body than Cedique but the the pure route running

combined with the fact that he did play in line full time for Purdue he was their guy

there's it's possibly there but the fact that he did look a little bit less athletic with the extra

weight plus the lack of testing it's all just there's a lot there a lot of there a lot of ping pong

balls and up in the air right now with him so he's definitely somebody I could see being a star

if those things line up together but I could also see him being somebody that is kind of

around 239 240 as a pro so we can maintain his receiving it is mostly a third down guy like

King Cade so I don't know I mean it's not unjustifiable I think there are better and more sure

prospects but there's definitely something I can sell myself on big time if the bangles were to

take him around three we'll talk about some of those guys who you think are better and more

sure prospect some of your guys I think it's fair for for some of these certainly where you

depart from consensus in a way that says like hey yeah you should really consider this guy if you

can get him in the fourth sixth round because that guy I think is is going to be a really good

player in the NFL we'll talk about some of Max's guys at the tight end position some of his highest

talked about the consensus top guys and let's talk about some of the some of the players that on

day three of the draft you'd be pretty excited about who is at the top of the list for you when

you're thinking about man if I could drop that guy into the Bengals offense who are the handful of

guys that you really would be excited about say round four round six because again the Bengals

don't have that's rampant. Yeah well I mean it's it feels inappropriate

putting this guy into the day three bucket because I think he's if I were drafting for all 32 teams

and I were the only and I were the only arbiter of where people go in the draft this guy would be

go would go within the first 15 picks for the second round but Eli rared in from Notre Dame I think

is a a home run at least process wise for the Bengals now I don't I understand why the Bengals

would not want to take another tight end with multiple ACL tears but so that's that's a little

bit of a hard sell but unlike Eric all he's been healthy for the last two years and he's not coming

off anything so he's been shown that he's able to not just handle a big snap load and stay healthy

but stay healthy for a couple of years so that's slightly different although I look I get it

but this guy is 66 to 45 who I think he slim looks like he kind of slimmed down a little bit

to handle more of a receiving role this year and was still excellent as a blocker and excellent

as a blocker against guys like Ruben Bain and Keen Mesador who are two gapping tackles so I'm not

really that worried about it especially since he has really really good length which is at least

relative to tight ends now because all the long kids get moved to edge in high school but

you know he can he can play he can play in line full time and obviously that'll be an adjustment

as a rookie as it is for most guys but he can he did it for Notre Dame and I mean they they

asked the world of him it's very very pro style tight end usage both in routes and in in blocking

so it's it's really translatable stuff and they had obviously as I said some really

a valuable opponent said he was able to to hack it against so I love him there but he's an elite

athlete he was one of the most athletic tight ends in this class higher RIS than then Ken Yantidee

Keirana 462 vert and broader really good so you know with that size with that inline blocking

ability with that athleticism and productive receiving it's not the volume doesn't jump off the

page but as we kind of saw with Mason Taylor if you look at Mike Denbrock's offense it's just so

it's so I don't want to say hostile because it is really good but it's not great for getting

tight ends yards because they don't use any run action really and when they do it's just like a

simple flash fake on one of their normal drop-back concepts so there's nothing like where you're

scheming the tight end open behind the linebackers are into the flats and stuff where these guys

even the really good ones get a ton of their yards I mean it does sound familiar to the way the

Bengals run offense there's not a ton of that in the Bengals world either right so for him I mean

you could easily inflate his production by 253 under yards if he had some of those

but even then he still produced at a decent level running big boy pure drop-back routes and a

diverse route tree winning on a bunch of things facing a lot of man coverage and destroying

it pretty effectively he gets in and out of break smoothly he's got quick feet he's just fluid

big fast plays his position at a high level and is an effective separator against both man and

zone I just I kind of besides the ACLs I don't get it with what we're with where the consensus is

that with him if they can get a guy like this he the fact that he does have that legit receiving

upside in every phase like he's really good in the scenes he's got good feel underneath he would

just be such a nice complement to chase in Higgins because he can work that middle on all three

levels and not have to come off the field because he's Haydenhurst right and killing your run game

he's probably I think given where Drew Sample is at right now I think we a little bit of experience

he can probably get to that level as a blocker Drew Sample is not an elite blocker anymore he's

just good enough in line so if you have that plus a guy who can now catch the ball and an extra threat

I mean that's especially in this offense with how volume gets out like this could be a real star

do you see Oscar Delp as a similar prospect in terms of style strengths weaknesses or

there are major differences in those profiles I see them pretty similarly overall from a 10,000

foot view I think there are some differences namely that Delp even though they weigh the same

Delp is not quite as good of a blocker just because he doesn't have the same length so he

he has issues at times getting his hands placed but his feet are really really good and his

effort level and technique are really good and that carries him to serviceability and I think in

the NFL it'll be in an adjustment for him I think he'll struggle a little bit in line early on

but I think he'll get to that level he's kind of similar to me to Charlie Warner as a blocker who

ended up being a really really good blocker because similar weight 245 short arms but Warner had

to learn a lot as far as technique and adjusts over time and he had a great landing spot to do it

and since he but I think he can get to that level where he is your every down in line guy and

where he then starts to separate himself as a fact that he is ludicrously explosive he ran

between a 448 and a 452 at his pro day depending on who you ask and that's pretty pretty apparent

on tape he's smooth he's not necessarily as wiggly as rarid and so I don't necessarily think he

has the ability to win on things like in-breakers and complex movement stuff against man coverage but

like as a linear seam stretcher and guy who can work in the underneath and create after the catch

he's really really good so again the Bengals don't need the Bengals don't need complex wrap

tree from their tight end at all because you know if you want stuff from the slot you just move

Jamar there if you want stuff underneath you move Jamar there you know there's there's there's

plenty of all that stuff so all you need to do is is have this guy be able to compliment them

be a thread on check downs leak behind those linebackers and pop into the seams and

dealt can do that with legitimate explosiveness so I that would be I don't think it would bear as

quick of fruit as rarid in but I don't think any of the look tight end doesn't really bear that

quick of fruit anyway unless you got a real stud so I would like that as well not really the

position where you're expecting instant impacts very frequently outside of the unicorns and

there have been some unicorns lately and we'll see if he get any out of this class I mean that

would be it's always fun I don't know something about tight end that position just is one of them

were fun I mean maybe it's a personality type so the position is one of them were enjoyable

positions in the NFL and you have guys that are good but you you also really like Daekwon right

I know that's been one of your guys from for a while in this process and I wasn't aware of him

until you highlighted him he's consensus 182 you're also a fan of Dalin Bentley who I was not

aware of until we started talking there there's so many guys in this class at the tight end position

who are going to be draftable playable NFL level players Sam Roush Roush another one and out of those

guys do when he stand out as as fits you love for the Bengals more than the others are they similar

in a similar bucket for you or what's the deal there yeah I think Roush is the best of those three

guys and the way he performed his combine was eye opening he had the highest RIS in this class

and one of the highest ever in the history of the position because it's 267 pounds

ran a 4 7 flat Burton Broad were good ran the three cone unlike everybody else who you know

doesn't do it so he's ethical he's a fake nobody doesn't anymore he did it he did and he didn't do

that badly like he actually did pretty well so again at 267 so the look he should be the exact

thing I'm talking about right the one concern I have is that because I don't necessarily think he's

going to be and everything at tight end exists on sliding scales right the receiving and blocking

exists on sliding scales and how good you are at one thing diminishes how good you have to be at

the other thing barring extremes but he's I don't think he's ever going to be a good enough pure

volume guy and separators receiver to be a serviceable inline blocker like if you're getting a 267

pound guy out there is your every down starter like he's got to be a real road grader and I think

he has the strength to be certainly the strongest tight end in this class but he has 30 inch arms

which is for a pastress well I think that means that the Bengals have to draft Ruben Bane 10th

then Sam Raus and the 4th round and then they can they can start a club man start a support group

together in Cincinnati yeah I mean they're just like what are their drills going to do they're

like imagine they're blocking drills or how much just hit each other before anything even happens

it's like two big horned sheep sticking their heads down and no arms involved whatsoever but

instead of tea wrecks we can call them triceratops you know yeah yeah I mean

that would be hilarious but it does cloudy cloudy is projection a little bit because if he

already does have trouble controlling defenders at the college level but he and the way he does it

when he does do it is that he just knocks them off their feet a lot like a lot he's so explosive

so I think he'll be at he'll definitely be at minimum solid enough to play in line every down

it's just is he giving you the receiving to pay off what may not be dominant blocking and if the

arm length doesn't end up mattering and he figures it out and he is a dominant blocker and all

of a sudden like the fact that he is a good athlete and a productive receiver good in the underneath

windows can stretch you on that play action stuff maybe won't be a a Hawkinson Laporta route winning

matchup threat but he can easily be that that complimentary guy and the Bengals of all teams need that

man coverage beater less than everybody else and that kind of goes into the same thing with right

two I don't think he is as talented of an athlete or or a tight end even just but he's a great

yak guy like weirdly great to the point where this guy's putting more 35 40 yard catches on tape

than any of these other guys and he's a fantastic inline blocker like really really good even though

he's not insanely heavy he's about 245 through 50 but he's like 63 so that's a heavy a heavy

upper body and not heavy frame he's pretty dominant in line very consistent and he has that

yak threat right like he can settle into the zones a little bit but when you're detaching him on

play action I do like him a little bit more for a run action team but for us like if he's in the

Drew sample role and those check downs suddenly go to a really dangerous yak guy that's kind of

all you need after the starting tight end especially when you're gonna play 11 personnel I feel

like the upgrade there you're describing is akin to the Geno Stone tackling to Brian Cook tackling

upgrade Drew sample after the catch is just not he's never great at it and at this point it's

a lumbering action for him last guy wanted to get to Lance Mason a guy that is from consensus

on the fringe of draft ability but a guy that you really like considering where that consensus is

do you see Lance Mason as a fit or is it a different kind of tight end for you out of Wisconsin

his tape is really good like really really good there's some blocking stuff in there that's

straight up excellent especially for a guy that's 245 63 but that's a really stout frame

he's there's good route running on tape he was really productive and explosive at Missouri

state when they were in that last year of their FCS before he transferred up and he was Wisconsin's

leading receiver this year I mean he only had 300 something yards but you got to adjust that for

the fact that they couldn't throw forward pass at all and was still their leading receiver even

though that I think they had two senior bull guys at wide receiver there's some really good route

running on tape there and the thing that just kind of gets me is that like this three cone in his

pro day was so bad like so so bad which I didn't expect I expected is 40 to be a little underwhelming

his three cone to be okay if you ran it but like it's so bad that now I'm like now he's an outlier

status so I've kind of rethought that a little bit but the tape is really really good so if they could

get if they were to get him really really late or as a UDFA that would actually be really great

because I think there may be something there maybe he who knows but because the tape is really

really good but like man that three cone was such a bummer yeah some guys we didn't get to talk

about like I said this is an incredibly deep tight end class tanner coiz coizio we didn't talk

about the other Ohio state tight end of old Kazmarek we didn't get to talk about if you're looking

for the Drew sample replacement Kazmarek is a guy that stands out to me in that regard just don't

pick him in the second round this time down in Bentley 25 year old from Utah we didn't get to

talk about another one that I know you see as as certainly worthy being draftful Josh Kweivis

another one that you like I think a little bit more than consensus a little bit more aligned

there certainly but so deep tight end class max and when they draft one of these guys that we

didn't talk about or pick up one of these guys and we didn't talk about as an undrafted

free agent we'll certainly be talking to you about that guy again because how many tight ends

have you watched this year fully I've like I mean I fully watched about 15 and fully does not

include reception perception charting which is extra extra fully that's played by play point by

point so in some form or another though all of them I don't see at this point which is like

50 guys 55 60 players I mean there's a lot of tight ends this year and a lot of them

will be drafted I think day three going to be a big tight end day and we'll see if we

get to talk to max Tuscano again about one of these tight ends again you can find his work at

reception perception that remember the tight ends he's also writing about Bengals scheme doing
