Bengals Mock Draft: 7-Round Projection by Prediction Machine

One more mock draft...

Glenn Andrews-USA TODAY Sports

With the 2015 NFL Draft on the horizon, the end of the road for mock drafts is in sight!

For the final mock draft we're posting on Cincy Jungle, we're turning to NFL Draft Expert Matt Richner and PredictionMachine.com General Manager Paul Bessire, who took the reigns of all 32 teams in the 2015 NFL Draft to create a full, seven round "objective draft."

Here's how all nine of their picks for the Cincinnati Bengals came out:

1

21

Cincinnati

Nate Orchard (DE)

2

53

Cincinnati

Jordan Phillips (DT)

3

85

Cincinnati

Martrell Spaight (OLB)

3

99

Cincinnati

Dorial Green-Beckham (WR)

4

120

Cincinnati

Dean Marloew (S)

4

135

Cincinnati

Stefon Diggs (WR)

5

157

Cincinnati

Ronald Darby (CB)

6

197

Cincinnati

Josh Robinson (RB)

7

238

Cincinnati

John Timu (ILB)

In this mock, the Bengals nabbed a ton of steals by getting possible first-round players on Day 2 of the draft, but Nate Orchard in the first is a reach. Though the talented Utah pass-rusher would upgrade the Bengals' defense, he's projected by CBS as the No. 69 overall prospect.

However, Oklahoma defensive tackle Jordan Phillips is someone who the Bengals may actually take in the first round, so getting him in the second round in this mock is a huge steal. The same is true for Missouri/Oklahoma receiver Dorial Green-Beckham, who Cincinnati nabs in the late-third round. Florida State cornerback Ronald Darby is the No. 30 overall prospect on CBS, but the Bengals get him in the fifth round of this draft.
