Pair of Mocks to consider

I know that the draft rankings are fluid and there will be some meteoric rises to the top as usual, but the Bengals also need another plan if Warren isn't there.

I mean the team may not even see Warren as worthy of their 1st round pick, I just really liked what I saw from the offense with an aggressive, dynamic TE on the field those few weeks that Eric All was in the lineup.

My guess is the Bengals rank players. Yes, a chance depending on where we draft, Warren is gone. How will Bengals rank need based on position? Of course, FA will impact need.

Today we have a ton of need at various positions. Will we sign Tee long term or sign and trade him? Will we cut Cappa, Rankins or Stone? If we do and do not sign their replacement in FA, then guard, DT (did we sign Bj Hill to a new deal), DT and safety become more important than TE.

I am interested to see how Warren measure in the NFL combine. He seems to play fast, but maybe he is not close to a Kelcie speed for example. 

Our draft position could also get worse or better depending on how we finish 2024. If we lose to Denver and Steelers, we may be in position for pick 10 or 11 versus 13. If we win out, we may be in 16 to 18 range.
