Bengals first-round pick Tyler Eifert and second-round pick Giovani Bernard "will help change the dynamic of the offense," according to CBS Sports Senior NFL Columnist Pete Prisco. The additions should help quarterback Andy Dalton build on last year's numbers.
"Eifert gives the Bengals another pass-catching tight end to go with Jermaine Gresham, while Bernard is the speed back the Bengals have lacked," Prisco writes. "In Monday's work with the Falcons, Eifert beat Falcons linebacker Stephen Nicholas for a nice gain, and Bernard made a big play on a route in the middle of the field."
Dalton told Prisco that Eifert "will allow us to go two tight-end stuff rather than three receivers in some situations. Gio is a guy you can move all over. I think adding both those guys were really big for us."
