Re Gronkowski in the 2010 draft, Mike Brown has stated that his back was the issue in passing on him and choosing Gresham.
One thing to keep in mind with the Bengals and tight ends -- they have never utilized the concept of a "move" tight end. Unless they change their philosophy (hell, we're apparently getting a practice dome, anything's possible) any tight end they consider is going to have to be at least adequate as a blocker. McBride seems to be a decent blocker. Likely is more of a wide receiver/tight end hybrid. Dulcich maybe with the most upside. Depends on what they want.
