Javion Cohen - OG - Miami - 6'4" 305
Cohen began his career at Bama and played LT and LG. He transferred to Miami for his senior season where he worked solely at LG. Length is a concern which could explain his move from tackle to guard. Cohen plays with good athleticism and his work as an OT is apparent in his pass protection at OG. Cohen shows really good movement skills while pulling and getting to the second level. He will need to continue to work on his strength and some technique issues at the NFL level. While he is not physically dominating he does display good anchor and his awareness and football IQ could be a good reason he has been credited with 1 sack in his career by some sources while other sources credit him with 0 sacks in his collegiate career.

Jordan Jefferson - DT - LSU - 6'4" 315
If DJ Reader returns in '24 the Bengals need a NT that can step in and stop the run at a high level to give Reader a breather. If Reader is not back the Bengals need a NT that can step in and stop the run at a high level on a regular basis in their rotation. Jefferson should fit in either case. Jefferson comes with a really explosive first step for a guy of his size and he plays with a high motor and good natural power. He will need to continue to learn to work against double teams but his ability to draw double teams should help to keep other defenders clean. He is not a big threat as a pass rusher but his strength is certainly stopping the run which is absolutely needed in the AFC North.
