Looking for a tackle after round 2

It was hoped he could get some of that momentum back at the Senior Bowl but he didn’t play as well as he should have.  That could work to the Bengals favor but he did lower his floor quite a bit.  Had a nice pro day though.

Yep, Leatherwood was in discussions back in Sept of being a Top 15 pick with the expectation he'd grow into being a good LT.
He showed by the end of the college season he's probably not going to be a really good athletic LT type, but he should be a really good OG and likely a good power RT.
Given the Bengals could use a starter at OG and replacement for Reiff at RT after this year, Leatherwood could be a good fit.
First two rounds getting Sewell/Slater/Darrisaw in Rd 1 with Leatherwood in Rd 2 could be really nice from a protection standpoint.
