Cincinnati Bengals Rookies Forecast

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell May 29, 2013 Solid Starter Tyler Eifert, TE, Norte Dame – Round 1 The Bengals have starting tight end Jermaine Gresham signed for two more seasons at a reasonable price, so Eifert shouldn’t replace Gresham as a starter unless the veteran gets injured.

Jacksonville Jaguars Rookies Forecast

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell May 28, 2013 Solid Starter Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M – Round 1 I’m not a fan of the Jaguars taking a right tackle with the second-overall pick.
