As we get closer to the draft, more and more mock drafts are emerging, attempting to predict the prospect that each NFL team will draft in Round 1 of the 2017 NFL Draft.
Last year, we tracked 105 mock drafts and zero had the Cincinnati Bengals taking William Jackson III in Round 1. Will draft experts and football bloggers nail the Bengals’ Round 1 choice in 2017? It’s much easier to correctly predict who the Bengals will draft this year than it was last year due to the Bengals’ poor 2016 record landing the team a top 10 draft pick. The Bengals hold the No. 9 pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. Some of the names that have been connected to Cincinnati with the most frequency are that of linebacker Reuben Foster, running back Leonard Fournette and defensive end Solomon Thomas.
Be sure to bookmark and check back on this page frequently for more mock drafts to be added.
