2. CB Trae Waynes
Waynes has had a hard time living up to the expectations of being a borderline top-10 pick.
But not meeting expectations isn’t the same as bad. Waynes fits Lou Anarumo’s defense well and projects to be more reliable in a number of ways than Dre Kirkpatrick.
The hope is the Bengals get more 2018 Waynes (37 completions on 58 targets, one touchdown) instead of 2019 Waynes (71 completions on 96 targets, five touchdowns).
If they do, it’s going to register as a great signing.
