Three quarterbacks will almost certainly come out to start this year’s draft, marking the first time in 22 years that it will take place. The Falcons are undecided on whether to acquire them Matt RyanHe is the apparent heir to No. 4. This puts the Bengals in a position to land perhaps the top non-quarterback in this draft.
By choosing fifth place without the need for a quarterback, the Bengals will have a plethora of high-end offensive prospects to choose from. Given the problems they have had on their offensive line in recent years, they have been related to the Oregon attacks. Sewell’s penis. Zac Taylor, player personnel director Duc Tobin and offensive line coach Frank Pollack were in Eugene, Oregon, for Sewell’s professional day, Tyler Dragon of the Cincinnati Enquirer tweets. Pollack told attendees that Sewell impressed him, Tony Pauline of ProFootballNetwork.com tweets.
Sewell would make sense as a player who could be a long-term starter in front of the left Jonah Williams, but Tobin said the Bengals could acquire a top-tier lineman on the second night of the draft. Cincinnati has the initial O-linemen qualifiers projected for the second and third rounds, Tobin said during a podcast with Bengals announcer Dan Hoard (Twitter link). Tobin added that a veteran team was added Riley Reiff offers the team a better online perspective OR than that of 2020 (Twitter link via ESPN’s Ben Baby).
There are needs inside the Cincinnati O line and Tobin said more additions will be made. But it is clear that the veteran executive does not give up the atmosphere for the team to have to add an impact blocker prematurely.
The Bengals also don’t want to negotiate too far from number 5; they may not be interested in going down at all. A selection available for the best player can suit the Bengals, who have included them Joe Burrow in his pre-draft process, Tobin more or less confirmed (via Baby, on Twitter). Burrow has fallen into a Ja’Marr Chase meeting, according to SI.com’s Albert Breer. The Eagles can expect this to be the direction the Bengals are heading, and Breer noted that Philly believes there is a good chance Cincy will draft Chase at No. 5. With a superior receiver need than the Bengals, the Eagles changed from of No. 6 at number 12 at the end of last month.
The Bengals did not re-sign any of the top 10 receiver selections from last year’s roster: AJ Green i John Ross – but they have invested a first- or second-round selection in a wide one in three of the last five drafts. Chase opted for his junior season but exploded for 84 receptions, 1,780 yards and 20 touchdown catches during Burrow’s 2019 Heisman winner. He and Burrow played together at LSU for two seasons.
