Cincinnati Bengals 3-round mock draft ahead of NFL combine drills

Here’s a brief updated mock before the combine workouts.

While the Bengals might not waste any time slapping a tag on A.J. Green and still want to get something out of John Ross, nothing is guaranteed at wideout besides Tyler Boyd.

With that in mind, taking a falling wideout in one of the deepest wideout classes in recent memory seems like a solid idea. Mims is a big 6’3″ target who put up more than 1,000 yards twice and scored 12 times last year.

Other needs persist, but it’s hard not to think of Mims as short-term insurance and a long-term potential starter.
