It’s going to take some luck for the Bengals to land Oregon offensive tackle Penei Sewell with the fifth pick in the 2021 NFL draft.
But luck is just what a new mock draft has for the Bengals. The way Pro Football Focus’ Seth Galina sees it, Sewell will fall to five and Cincinnati will essentially sprint to the podium.
Some interesting dominoes fall to let this one happen. At No. 1, Jacksonville takes Trevor Lawrence. The Jets take Justin Fields with the second pick.
Miami then goes wideout with DeVonta Smith, while Atlanta shocks at No. 4 by playing it safe with Penn State linebacker Micah Parsons.
So far, it has seemed like a team trading up into the top five for a quarterback would be what the Bengals need to have Sewell slip to No. 5.
That wasn’t the case here — which shows just how wild things could get on draft night
