The Cincinnati Bengals selected Arizona tight end Tanner McLachlan with the 194th pick in the sixth round of the NFL Draft. McLachlan, known for his soft hands, good blocking abilities, and proficiency in the red zone, was considered a valuable pick despite some concerns about his athleticism and ability to separate from linebackers. This selection marks a strategic move by the Bengals, who are looking to bolster their tight end roster while allowing recovery time for Erick All, who is recovering from an ACL injury. McLachlan was ranked as TE9 in the draft.

Arizona TE Tanner McLachlan is headed to the Cincinnati Bengals with pick 6/194. A little later than expected. Great kid, great story. Good athlete, excellent production. Cincinnati will love him.
Tanner McLachlan is my TE9 Soft hands. Good blocker. Nice bend. Red zone target who can high point a football. Plays smart against zone. Not very athletic. Struggles to separate. LBs can cover him easily. Won't add much after the catch. #Bengals #HallamAnalysis
The #Bengals select Arizona tight end Tanner McLachlan. A surprising double up on tight ends. Take a shot with McLachlan and also gives recovery time for Erick All (ACL). With 10 picks, might as well take some shots at BPA and see what happens.
