I could watch the Ole Miss DLine all day. I started due to Princely Umanmielen DE, but now I have a man-crush on JJ Pegues. A former TE turned NT, he runs a 4.86 at 325 lbs. He is the best run defender on a line including the aforementioned Umanmielen and DT Nolen, another top 50 prospect.
My favorite part is that he also runs the wildcat and has 9 carries with 5 TDS, plus serves as a FB and TE blocker when needed.

Fannin Jr., TE from BGSU is the MAC player I'd love to see end up on the Bengals.

I had just gotten through two Ole Miss all-22 games and you're right they are up there with SC and A&M as top DLs. Walter Nolen is a monster and it wouldn't surprise me if he's high on the Bengals board in '25.

I haven't gotten to Fannin yet although I have been keeping up with his stats. What is his typical alignment?

They put him on the line just by the tackle, but also split him out like a TE/WR hybrid. He's athletic and, I offer to the casual fan, appears to have great pass catching skills. I'm not sure how his blocking abilities translate to the pro game. He is 6'4" and a good route runner as well. Don't think much though about anything I am posting. I like football and follow the MAC, but I am not super knowledgeable about the intricacies of the game.

I do think it would be wise by the Bengals to go with a Chase/TE roster building approach if they aren't comfortable paying big money to WR1 and WR2. TEs tend to make less than WRs.

While typing my reply to you, I Googled to see what info is available on him. I found this recent article:

Savion Williams is a guy to keep an eye on. Made Feldmans freak list too.

?Won't be a prettier-looking wideout in 2025 #NFL Draft than TCU's Savion Williams (6036v, 228v, 33 1/4 arm, 9 3/8 hand).

Cordarrelle Patterson is the comp.

Credit @TCUFootball staff for running him 18 times as wildcat QB over past two games.

There's "wow" type talent when he… https://t.co/o9xOVhD2JW pic.twitter.com/WtbOhkbDDL

What’s thoughts on Tyler Warren?

He's a good prospect, but we have an emerging Eric All. Bengal fans should be zoned in on interior OL, DE, Safeties.

True, but Erick all is more of you’re move the/hback(at least currently being used) Warren is more big wr type. Not sure we’re gonna be in on safety. Bell is old now but still think they like stone and battle. Probably mid rounds.interior online specifically kappa has started to slow down specifically. And de 100% wr too.

I'm not discounting Warren's quality as a player, just suggesting that the Bengals should focus on interior OL, DE and Safety.

Tyler Warren is going to be a TE-Y more like a Pat Freirmuth. I would guess he tests more like a Sam Hubbard athlete not explosive or fast but body control through the roof. 

Erick All is in a half way point between a Y and F/H it will be interesting to see his development as I think he eventually ends up in that Y more often. If your looking for a big body receiving TE Bryson Nesbit late or I still haven't watched his All-22 but Harold Fannin Jr. shows speed and quicks in some clips I have seen.


Edit: I'm surprised your not pushing Emeka Egbuka or Quinshon Judkins Jpoore lol. I do have to say Egbuka is my favorite WR of the class so far for the Bengals offense.
