Rome Odunze (Pick 18):
Position: Wide Receiver
School: Washington
Notes: Odunze is a talented receiver who fell due to the draft’s depth at the position and questions about him being a blue-chip prospect with some NFL Scouts. The Original plan was to go Offensive Tackle, but the Bengals went with the BPA.
Jer’zhaun Newton (Pick 28):
Position: Defensive Tackle (DT)
School: Illinois
Acquired via trade by sending Tee Higgins to the Bills.
Notes: After acquiring Odunze at pick 18, the Bengals decide to speak with teams about trades, the Bills restructure some players, and Bring in Tee Higgins as a long-term answer at the position. Tee Higgins comes with no drama and upgrades the locker room.
Ladd McConkey (Second Round pick): Unspecified
Position: Wide Receiver
School: Georgia
Notes: The Bengals utilize their 4th-round pick to move up in the 2nd round and draft McConkey, Team Captain and arguably the best slot receiver in the draft. This pick fills the void left by Tyler Boyd and somehow we end up with the best receiving core in Bengals history.
Roger Rosengarten (Pick 80):
Position: Offensive Tackle
School: Washington
Notes: One of the Best Right Tackles in this draft class, he comes up as a backup to Trent Brown and eventual replacement.
Mason McCormick (Pick 96):
Position: Guard/Center
Notes: Versatile Interior offensive line player with high IQ and lots of experience. Top end athleticism
Dwight McGlothern (Pick 149):
Position: Cornerback (CB)
Notes: Ball Hawking Corner will come in and backup starters, because of his age he still has room to grow.
Erick All (Pick 194):
Position: Tight End
School: Iowa
Notes: Comes into a solid tight-end room. If healthy he has the upside of a starting tight end in the league. I love Iowa tight ends
Garret Greenfield (Pick 214):
Position: Offensive Tackle
Notes: Greenfield is a late-round prospect with potential. He is the long-time teammate of McCormick an we keep the experienced tandem together. Swing tackle with lots of experience
Qwantez Stiggers (Pick 224):
Position: Cornerback (CB)
School: Toronto
Notes: Stiggers is a dynamic Ball Hawking Cornerback who plays for the CFL. He has a very interesting story about how he opted out of college and ended up in the CFL, which I recommend you look up online if you're interested. I think he has the potential to be a starter on this team and its a low risk high reward option to add depth to this team now.
Evan Anderson (Pick 237):
Position: Defensive Tackle (DT)
School: FAU (Florida Atlantic University)
Notes: Rotational Nose Tackle with Upside that could be a starter.
Priority Free Agents Added After Draft:
Jowon Briggs (DT)
Carson Steele (RB)
There you have it, this is my Final Mock Draft of the year and after many long hours of watching and researching players these will be our picks in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Look forward to the discussions on this pretty hot take draft =)
