Week In Review: Full Steam Ahead
Duke Tobin vowed not to break news during Thursday's news conference, but he did break ground when he offered a virtual tour of the remote Bengals draft room set for next Thursday night's first round. If next weekend's draft is "a scout's dream," the Bengals look to have a heavenly scenario fraught with advantages when it comes to their position.
Bengals Pre-Draft Party
The party kicks off Thursday, April 23 at 7:30 p.m. ET and streams live on Bengals.com and all Bengals social media platforms. Fans can also tune-in to Local 12 in Cincinnati, WKEF in Dayton and Fox 56 in Lexington for the 30 minute party leading up to the NFL Draft at 8 p.m.
Boomer Soothes By Talking The Game
Boomer Esiason is one of the Bengals greats. NFL MVP. NFL Man of the Year. Super Bowl quarterback.

Draft Walk-Through: Bengals Go Back To The Future In Prep Work
Mark Duffner, the Bengals senior defensive assistant who sat in the team's last Spinney Field draft that was also the first of the 2000s, doesn't think this one is all that different. Still, it's a little like the old days, too, because when everybody was taken off the road in mid-March and killed the pro days, agents of the non-combine prospects began inundating NFL teams with videos of self-made workouts.
