The Cincinnati Bengals pick 18th this year, positioned as one of those points in the opening round that could dramatically swing the entire class based on how many different ways they could go.
Those Bengals could attack the offensive line, either replacing Jonah Williams at right tackle or upgrading the interior. They could go inside or out on a defensive line that was lacking in pass-rush and could miss DJ Reader, too.
Or they could get Joe Burrow another weapon with either a tight end or wideout. Or, perhaps to the frustration of fans, they could invest in the secondary again, perhaps adding a third safety to the rotation while they try to figure things out on the back end.
Given the seemingly endless possibilities, here’s a look at what experts have the Bengals doing in mock drafts right now.
