TEE is coming back for at least the 2024 season
Boyd is gone
Jonah is gone & the Bengals bring in a serviceable Free Agent RT
A minimum of Tanner Hudson & Mitchell Wilcox return at TE & Bengals spend more than usual for a Free Agent TE
DJ Reader is brought back
Chidobe Awuzie is brought back
Rounds 1 through 7
1. OT JC Latham 6 foot 6 345 lbs Alabama - Bengals will be lucky if Latham is still available at pick #18.
Powerful, long & athletic enough to handle the RT job for years to come - IMO
2. WR Xavier Legette 6 foot 2 225 lbs South Carolina - My Tyler Boyd replacement who could bring an Anquan Boldin type size to
the position. His game video looks good to me. Had 1,255 yards in 2023.
3. DT McKinnley Jackson 6 foot 2 325 lbs Texas A&M - Looks powerful & moves well for his size. In a lot of Mocks on this Message
Board and I think he would be a very good pick also if still available here.
4. DT Mekhi Wingo 6 foot 295 lbs LSU – Built like a Fire hydrant and moves well. Has a chance to be good & he may go
earlier than round 4 by Draft time.
5. RB Audric Estime 5 foot 11 227 lbs Notre Dame – Bengals brought in smaller Chase Brown last year. Bring in a bigger back in
Estime this Draft to bubble up mid round running back talent on the Roster.
6. TE Jared Wiley 6 foot 6 251 lbs TCU - 47 catches for 520 yards & 8 tds in 2023. Could develop into a useful TE option.
7. Corner Willie Roberts 5 foot 11 190 lbs Louisiana Tech - Last round shot at a Corner that appears to be a good tackler and
decent in coverage.
Wouldn't complain about this at all really, have already spoken of my concerns about Latham but he might be good yah never know.
Leggette is a talent, would love him in the 2nd round. Really like McKinnley Jackson as our future Reader replacement. Wingo could be a good
3-tech, Estime looked very good every time I watched him and he looks physical which we need at RB for sure. Haven't seen much of Wiley but
he certainly has good size at TE. Good job Depthchart, would be happy with this.
