Cincinnati Bengals Final Mock Draft
Here is Fanspeak’s final Cincinnati Bengals mock draft in its entirety:
21. Cincinnati Bengals- S Matt Elam, Florida Scouting Report
37. Cincinnati Bengals (via Raiders)- RB Giovanni Bernard UNC
53. Cincinnati Bengals- C Travis Fredrick, Wisconsin
84. Cincinnati Bengals- S T.J. McDonald, USC
118. Cincinnati Bengals- CB Tyrann Mathieu, LSU
156. Cincinnati Bengals- RB Kerwynn Williams, Utah
190. Cincinnati Bengals- C Braxton Cave, Notre Dame
197. Cincinnati Bengals (via Patriots)- K Dustin Hopkins, FSU
240. Cincinnati Bengals (Compensatory)- DE Scott Vallone, Rutgers
251. Cincinnati Bengals (Compensatory)- FB Tommy Bohanon, Wake Forrest
-The Bengals can have a strong top of this draft landing safety Matt Elam, RB Giovani Bernard and Center Travis Fredrick. That would be getting top tier guys at their three biggest positional needs. Bernard really could be a nice weapon for this team as he’s a dynamic runner with big play ability. Fredrick would be the final piece (assuming they re-sign Andre Smith) to their offensive line puzzle. Later in the draft I like the Bengals to play with the strength of this draft and take some additional defensive backs. Though their secondary isn’t that bad, for the most part it is pretty old and more of a short term solution. Given their track record with more troubled players, I would look for them to be interested in Tyrann Mathieu if he makes it to the 4th round.
