Signed Nick Scott to 3-year 12 Million, i can’t see us wanting him to have competition. We gotta be thinking about toying with 3 safety packages. There’s no other reason for this pick.
The Bengals are a predominantly zone coverage team and were in a zone over 65% of the time in '22. However, the film I have seen of Jordan Battle shows a very capable man defender even though he did not play it a large portion of the time in the Bama defense. I have not really seen anything that states it is a weakness for him just may be that he is stronger in zone coverage.
Why wouldn't the Bengals want competition for Scott? They had no idea how the draft was going to play out and his contract is actually a rather reasonable one. Personally, I would like a roster that has no drop off in play as you do down the depth chart and it looks like the Bengals defense is working to get to that point.
