Jake Ferguson, TE Wisconsin

Mustafa Johnson, 4-3 DT/3-4 DE Colorado

Talanoa Hufanga, SS USC

I chose Power 5 because I think the Bengals, given their lack of scouting department, typically will look at players from the big conferences.

This guy stands out, big time.  Colorado isn't usually the first place I go looking for defense, but I think this guy has elite potential and it is a relatively thin DT class.  I hope he doesn't destroy the combine and raise a lot of eyebrows.  He played through last year and had a few injuries that might cause his stock to drop.  He doesn't have a ton of techniques, just real quickness.  

I would think with a year of NFL training and diet he could rock up and be a real force.  The thing is, had he stayed healthy and played with better talent around him, he might have been a top 50 pick.  As it is, he might be in a similar situation to Markus Bailey.  He could slide all the way to a Rd 6.
