THE NFL DRAFT IS ALMOST HERE!
This is not a drill!
We’re hours out from the draft and the excitement is building as we wait to find out who the Bengals will draft in the first round.
To burn some of the time before the draft, we thought it would be fun to conduct a poll on who you want to see the Bengals draft!
Based on Dan Kadar’s big board of the top 200 prospects and the Bengals’ most pressing needs, here are realistic targets for the Bengals with the 21st overall pick.
Lamar Jackson, QB, Louisville (15 on Kadar’s big board)
Harold Landry, Edge, Boston College (16)
Maurice Hurst, DL, Michigan (17)
Isaiah Wynn, G, Georgia (18)
Will Hernandez, G, UTEP (22)
Rashaan Evans, LB, Alabama (24)
Billy Price, C/G, Ohio State (25)
Mike McGlinchey, OT, Notre Dame (27)
Leighton Vander Esch, LB, Boise State (28)
Connor Williams, OT, Texas (29)
James Daniels, C, Iowa (36)
Frank Ragnow, C, Arkansas (66)
So, who do you want to see the Bengals select? I think it’s safe to assume Jackson will be gone before pick No. 21, but I’m leaving him in here for fun. I believe the same to be true of McGlinchey, but left him in as well. It’s hard to do that because I’d vote McGlinchey with Frank Ragnow being my second option. And I’ll be more than happy if Ragnow is the pick, but I was really impressed by McGlinchey at the NFL Combine and he’d be a nice pick for Cincinnati, too. If the Bengals went McGlinchey in Round 1, I’d hope they take a center by the end of Round 3, though there would need to be a player available who is worthy of the pick. Now, let’s turn this over to you. Who would you pick among these potential Bengals targets?
