First Round - 31st Selection
Devonte Wyatt - DT - Georgia - 6'3" 304
Can we have lightening strike again at the DT position from Georgia? While Wyatt is bigger than Geno he comes with many similar traits and comes with a high motor and effort level. Disruptive and will fit easily into the rotation at the 3 technique immediately. Will be a perfect compliment to BJ Hill and if shows well could take the starting spot.
Second Round - 63rd Selection
Kyler Gordon - CB - Washington - 6' 194
Very often when the traits of Gordon are talked about the word "elite" comes up. When you watch tape you see a defender that is relentless and plays with an Alpha attitude. His ball skills are outstanding and he has shown a high football IQ. He may not be ready to start this season but will certainly see plenty of playing time. NFL evaluators have stated the with some refinement of technique he may be one of the top playmakers in the league.
Third Round - 95th Selection
Cade Otton - TE - Washington - 6'5" 247
The Bengals make another selection from the Huskies at 95 by selecting a very well rounded TE who is a polished route runner and shows good feet and the agility required in a plus receiving TE. Has shown the ability to separate from coverage and get open at all three levels of the defense. Is a willing blocker and strength training in the NFL should help him improve in this area.
Round 4 - 136th Selection
Cole Strange - G/C - Tenn. Chattanooga - 6'5" 307
Could have one of the highest ceilings for interior linemen in this draft and has drawn comparison to JC Tretter. Played OG at Chattanooga but did snap in practice. Received very good reviews at the Senior Bowl due to work ethic as well as football IQ. Should be able to compete at any of the interior line positions and very well could be the center of the future for this organization.
Round 5 - 174th Selection
Thayer Munford - OT - The Ohio State - 6'6" 328
Local product Munford hurt his draft stock by moving inside to guard for the Buckeyes. At the NFL level should move back outside to OT his natural position and very well maybe #2 at RT immediately. There are technique issues that he will need to clean up but is very experienced at a very high level.
Round 6 - 209th Selection
Julius Turner - DT - Rutgers - 5'11" 281
Turner is a high energy disruption at the 3 spot. Relentless in his pursuit and effort. Had an outstanding showing at the Rutgers Pro Day and while he may not make the rotation in his rookie season at the least would be a nice addition to the practice squad. The Rutgers staff has had nothing but great things to say about this young man as a person and as a football player.
Round 7 - 226th Selection
Jack Coan - QB - Notre Dame - 6'3" 218
While Brandon Allen seems the incumbent at #2 that does not mean he should not be pushed for the job. Coan checks most of the boxes for NFL QB. While not being a big time runner he does move well in the pocket and can and will run if the opportunity presents itself. Has adequate arm strength to make all of the throws and has shown great poise while playing for Wisconsin and ND.
Round 7 - 252nd Selection
Kyler McMichael - CB - N. Caroline - 6' 202
Kyler brings all the physical traits looked for in an NFL corner. He good size for the position and good arm length which aids him in being disruptive against the catch. Ran a blistering 4.34 at the NC Pro Day. There are some evaluators that feel that his best football is still ahead of him and feel that the '21 season gave a glimpse into his abilities. If he is still on the board here then it is a very low risk very high reward propostion.
