Eleven Warriors Two Round Mock - BFritz21 - 04-23-2025
In a two-round mock from ElevenWarriors, they have us taking Walter Nolen and Jack Sawyer at end out of Ohio State.
17 Nolen
Quote:The Bengals need more difference-makers on their defensive line alongside Trey Hendrickson, and Nolen – a consensus All-American last season at Ole Miss – has as much star potential as just about any defensive lineman in this year’s draft.
I think he's our next Geno and will make more of a difference than any DE we could get there.
49 Jack Sawyer DE Ohio State
Quote:I’ve had my eye on Sawyer as a potential Bengals draft pick ever since Sam Hubbard announced his retirement. He’d be a natural fit to replace Hubbard as the Bengals’ No. 2 defensive end opposite Trey Hendrickson, and the Bengals have shown interest in drafting another former Ohio State defensive end by hosting Sawyer for a visit. While some mocks have Sawyer falling into Round 3, I think the Bengals would need to take him in Round 2 to ensure landing him.
I'm still nervous about what we're doing with Hendrickson, but he would be a nice addition opposite of him or even Ossai or Murphy.
We'd immediately improve our pass rush a lot with those two picks.
