The Bengals say they drafted Notre Dame tight end Tyler Eifert with Andy Dalton in mind. The quarterback was short on targets last season as injuries and inexperience hindered his receiving corps. Eifert gives the Bengals a huge, Rob Gronkowski-like target in the short- and mid-area. "I'm sure Andy Dalton is happy right now," offensive coordinator Jay Gruden said after drafting Eifert. "We try to make Andy happy, and the more weapons you have, obviously, the better. We need to take pressure off A.J. Green, and this is one step in doing that."
