  • Bengals' Matt Lee: Depth piece along offensive line

    The Bengals selected Lee in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 237th overall.

    A three-year starter at UCF before transferring to Miami in his final collegiate year, Lee probably could add a bit more weight (301) onto his 6-foot-3 frame. That being said, he's held up specifically well in pass protection over the years and could be an interesting depth piece along multiple areas of the line for Cincy.

  • Bengals' Daijahn Anthony: Cincinnati adds in seventh round

    The Bengals selected Anthony in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 224th overall.

    Anthony had to walk on at Shepherd and Liberty before getting a chance to play one season at Mississippi, and he managed to parlay that into becoming an NFL draft pick. Heartening as his story might be, Anthony mostly has the profile of an NFL special teamer. He played safety for Mississippi but at 6-feet, 195 pounds he's built more like a corner. The Bengals might try to develop him as a slot/safety tweener in upcoming years.

  • Bengals' Cedric Johnson: Headed to Cincinnati

    The Bengals selected Johnson in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 214th overall.

    Johnson was a pass-rush specialist throughout his time at Ole Miss. Of his 112 tackles in college, 22 went for a loss and 19 were sacks. He's an explosive athlete (91st percentile vertical jump, 81st percentile board jump), so with professional coaching, some of his raw skills could translate to more on-field production.

  • Bengals' Tanner McLachlan: Cincy adds another tight end

    The Bengals selected McLachlan in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 194th overall.

    McLachlan marks the second tight end to land in Cincinnati during the draft, as the team also selected Eric All in the fourth round. McLachlan was a strong receiving weapon with Arizona throughout his collegiate career, as he racked up a combined 79 receptions for 984 yards and six touchdowns across his final 25 games. While those numbers are promising, he will need to improve as a blocker to find the field regularly.

  • Bengals' Josh Newton: Joins deep Cincy secondary

    The Bengals selected Newton in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 149th overall.

    At first glance, the Bengals seem to have plenty of depth in the secondary, but it never hurts to add a five-year collegiate starter to the mix. More specifically, Newton started the past two seasons at TCU, tallying a combined 24 pass breakups and four interceptions. While he's not particularly fast (4.51 40-yard dash) and doesn't have an intimidating frame, Newton has the type of experience to immediately see snaps entering his rookie season.

  • Bengals' Erick All: Added to Cincy's TE corps

    The Bengals selected All (knee) in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 115th overall.

    Despite tearing the ACL in his right knee in October and requiring surgery, All still became the sixth tight end off the board in this year's draft. All actually led Iowa in receiving yards (299) and touchdowns (three) in 2023 despite playing in just seven games, but that may be more of an indictment of the Iowa offense. The injury prevented All from testing at the NFL Scouting Combine or Iowa's pro day, and his lengthy injury history -- including spinal surgery in 2022 -- is a concern. However, All's numbers when healthy during his five-year college career were always impressive dating back to his time at Michigan, where he began his career before transferring to Iowa. Cincinnati has an interesting tight end room that lacks star power, so if he's 100 percent at some point in 2024, All could get onto the field.

  • Bengals' McKinnley Jackson: Another defensive tackle to Cincy

    The Bengals selected Jackson in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 97th overall.

    Cincinnati is focusing on the interior defensive line on Day 2, as Jackson joins Kris Jenkins among rookie Bengals who play in the trenches. Jackson, a Texas A&M product, was a four-year player for the Aggies who broke through as a junior and continued his upward trajectory in 2023. Unlike Jenkins, who is tall and lean by defensive tackle standards, Jackson is stout at 6-foot-1 and 326 pounds. The Bengals have added two different types of defensive tackles who can provide different functions behind the starting duo of B.J. Hill and Sheldon Rankins.

  • Bengals' Jermaine Burton: Cincinnati snatches in third round

    The Bengals selected Burton in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 80th overall.

    Burton (6-foot, 196 pounds) is a former blue-chip recruit who transferred from Georgia to Alabama, displaying standout talent at both schools but also picking up his share of critics along the way. He developed a reputation for dubious judgement on the field and in the locker room both, and not as many former coaches went to bat for him as they normally would with a player of his abilities. With that said, Burton's fit at the pro level doesn't require much speculation. If he has his head in the game he has the talent to emerge as at least an average starter at some point, and for the Bengals he should be an immediate boost to the deep passing game. With 4.45-second 40-yard dash and impressive hands/tracking ability, Burton could hurt defenses that leave him in single coverage against slower corners.

  • Bengals' Kris Jenkins: Cincy bound in second round

    The Bengals selected Jenkins in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 49th overall.

    Son of former Panther great Kris Jenkins, the junior Jenkins followed in his father's footsteps and is set to join the NFL ranks as a starting defensive tackle. He is compact for the position at 6-foot-3 and 299 pounds, but he tested extremely well at the NFL Combine. During his time at Michigan, Jenkins started 33 games and was a wrecker in the middle of a championship-caliber defensive front. Athletically, he compares to defensive tackles like Larry Ogunjobi and Levi Onwuzurike. A rotation of Sheldon Rankins, B.J. Hill and Jenkins is a strong trio for Cincinnati.

  • Bengals' Amarius Mims: Headed to Cincinnati

    The Bengals selected Mims in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 18th overall.

    Mims (6-foot-8, 340 pounds) is almost entirely raw material after starting just eight games in his Georgia career, but it's the kind of raw materials that can yield uniquely high upside. Although he's enormous like few linemen in NFL history, Mims moves like someone smaller than himself, boasting an 111-inch broad jump that grades close to elite by offensive tackle standards. While it's true that Mims might need some development time the Bengals are prepared to grant him that for 2024 at least, as one-year free agent pickup Trent Brown should probably be considered the favorite to start at right tackle for the Bengals in Week 1.
