The Cincinnati Bengals continue to go through the paces of prep for the 2022 NFL draft.
One bit of news that has made its way public? They have or will work with Georgia Bulldogs offensive lineman Jamaree Salyer.
That news comes from The Draft Network’s Justin Melo, who says Salyer recently worked out with the Saints, too.
Salyer, projected as a mid-round prospect, is a huge 6’3″ and 321 pounds with something the Bengals will love — experience playing all five line spots.
Maybe more important than the specific name is what this might tell us about the Bengals’ draft plans when the time comes. With La’el Collins, Alex Cappa and Ted Karras upgrading three of the four underperforming line spots, a versatile, mostly interior player like Salyer might be who they go after in the mid-rounds.
That could mean prioritizing other needs like corner and the pass-rush in the opening rounds. Even if Salyer as a mid-round pick is a high-functioning backup for the foreseeable future, that’s great value at this point — the Bengals won’t always enjoy the relatively great injury luck they had last season.
