April Mock - SunsetBengal - 04-01-2025

I'd be happy with something like this.
RE: April Mock - Luvnit2 - 04-01-2025
Here is my first Mock for April. It is full of trades. It is probably not realistic but would make me very happy. I also walked away with a 2026 3rd and 7th round additional pick. I do tons of mocks, 1st time Nick Emmanwori had fallen out of round 1 in a long time.

32. Donovan Jackson. OG Ohio State via trade down guard and also OT
49. Nick Emmanwori S South Carolina Steal in middle of round 2
64. Landon Jackson Via 1st round trade down EDGE Arkansas = 1st of 2 edge rishers
79. Kyle Kennard EDGE South Carolina via trade down - 2nd edge/DE
84. Deone Walker DT Kentucky via trade down - steal in round 3, big DT with lots of upside
119. Bhayshul Tuten RB Virginia Tech - Extremely fast, will need better ball security
153. Trey Wedig OT Indiana - Experienced OL who can play guard/OT
157. Jack Kiser LB Notre Dame via trade down - smart football player and played for Al at ND
168. Nick Nash WR San Jose State via trade down - very smart slot receiver to challenge Jones and others
193. Riley Leonard QB Notre Dame - Best value on my board, he also would give us a running type option for specific plays. He would be inexpensive QB 3 to have on the roster.
2026 HOU 3rd
2026 TB 7th

I like the double dip at OG, as the Bengals need young and talent there.
Really like Martinez as a hammer for the Bengals as well.
I think Emmanwori is the best pick fort the Bengals, safety wise, but my gut says Golden is going with his guy and drafting Xavier Watts, hopefully not in the first though!
The one thing missing, that I think the Bengals eyeing in the draft, is a player to take on that viper position we are hearing so much about. I am guessing they will go after an explosive linebacker who can cover, or a bigger safety that excels at getting into the backfield, to take on that role.
It may not be the best at guess though, as I typically do not watch a lot of college football and am more the youtube expert on players/position, so just my take.
Overall, I would be pleased!

With the Bengals appearing to be content at RB, that 4th round pick just might could go LB. I just like Martinez and he was BPA at the selection.

I love 2 guards. You also checked the most needed position groups on my list.

Yep, I'm not so sure RB is very high on their list? With Brown, Moss, and Perine in camp? I'd like to see them cut Moss and take Bhayshul Tuten.

This would be awesome. I would love this draft
RE: April Mock - Synric - 04-03-2025
I'm back and forth with Jordan Burch. Will he bulk up to 290 and play 3t-5t as a 34 DE or will he get down to 270-275 ish and play 43 DE? I'm leaning towards the 34 Defensive End because I'm not sure alot of stand up rush end snaps are best for Burch.
RE: April Mock - BigRed75 - 04-03-2025
If that was the Bengals draft I would be flat giddy…can’t argue with any of the picks. Landon Jackson quickly became one of my favorite DE’s in the draft as people can easily ignore certain intangibles and I believe too many people are sleeping on Kennard. Getting my first round preference in the second round would be an unbelievable stroke of luck in my opinion. Great draft!
