Sedrick Van Pran - C - Georgia - 6'4" 310
A highly experienced lineman who has made 43 straight starts at the position against some of the best defensive lines in the nation and has done it at an extremely high level. Van Pran has put his high football IQ on display week in and week out as well as his elite ability in getting the second level and taking on defenders on the move. His ability to process stunts and blitz threats as well as reacting them is at an elite level as well. In the run game, simply put, he moves people. He will need to continue to improve his ability to take on top tier power but this should come as he develops himself in a NFL strength and conditioning program.
I firmly believe in an honest competition that Van Pran beats Karras out for the starting center job. This would allow the Bengals to evaluate Karra moving to LG where he has also played in the NFL. If he does not beat Karras out then he should certainly be evaluated to upgrade either right or left guard.
RD. 4 - 115th Selection:

Khyree Jackson - CB - Oregon - 6'3" 195
Jackson brings outstanding size and length to the position and gives the Bengals a very different build at corner than they have on the roster. To go with really good speed Jackson has displayed outstanding ball skills. While having the skillset to be a very good man corner Jackson has showed nearly elite abilities as a zone defender and his ability to process what is happening on the field. This should fit very well with the Bengals defense. Jackson will need to continue to hone his game and while he plays a physical style of game he will need to temper that a bit at the NFL level to keep from drawing flags.
Overall Jackson should be an outstanding addition to the DB room especially if the Bengals lose Chido as expected.
