The Cincinnati Bengals went a different route in a new mock draft.
This one comes from Draft Wire and Curt Popejoy and with the 28th pick, the Bengals selected CB Cam Smith from South Carolina, strengthening the secondary with the status of Eli Apple and Tre Flowers still up in the air.
Smith is 6’1”, 180 pounds and used his speed and athleticism to bring in six interceptions in his time as a Gamecock.
After the signing of Sidney Jones, the Bengals have had meetings with a lot of different cornerbacks, but none are likely to be taken early in the draft, so this would be a surprising route for Cincinnati to take on April 27.
In the second round, Popejoy had the Bengals taking TE Luke Musgrave from Oregon State, and then safety Jordan Battle from Alabama in the third.
