Assuming the Bengals re-sign/franchise Tee Higgins
Round 1
Kenneth Grant DT Michigan
6'3" 339lbs

Our new defensive coordinator receives a gift in the form of the mammoth Kenneth Grant. Giving us the lane clogging presence that we've lacked since DJ Readers departure while offering a bit of pass rushing ability. Grant is drawing some Dexter Lawrence comps.
Round 2
Jared Ivey DE Ole Miss
6'6" 295lbs

The Bengals return to the Dline well selecting a well rounded prospect in Jared Ivey with great pro potential. Ivey would see immediate playing time and could provide an upgrade over the underwhelming Myles Murphy.
Round 3
Luke Kandra OG Cincinnati
6' 4" 323lbs

The Bengals desperately need an upgrade on the interior Oline. Luckily they have a great prospect sitting in their own backyard. Kandra is a prospect who will rise throughout the draft process.
Round 4
Andrew Mukuba S Texas
6'0" 190lbs

Wishful thinking here in the 4th? Probably. It's hard to watch a Texas game and not notice Mukuba. Great instincts and a physical play style that could really help the secondary.
Round 5
Rylie Mills DL Notre Dame
6'5" 295lbs

The Bengals take another shot at improving the pass rush and bolster the Dline with a versatile defensive lineman who gives me some Zach Allen vibes.
Round 6
Tahj Brooks RB Texas Tech
5'10" 230lbs

With Herbert being a Free Agent and possibly moving on from Zack Moss, the Bengals will need to add a RB behind Chase Brown. Brooks is a large running back who can help with gaining yardage up the middle.
