The Combine has started, the first day being measurements. So far, the OL has been measured.
A pleasant surprise was Elflein's arm length actually measuring at 33.25". There was worry he'd be under 32.5", but this higher arm length should boost his stock because it should provide teams with better confidence he can better handle longer armed DL and show more ability to play OG too.
Ethan Pocic actually has a slightly shorter arm length than Elflein at 33.125". That is surprising for someone who is 3" shorter.
Both have good arm length for center though.
Dion Dawkins measured at only 6'4" tall but did measure 35" arms. The height is typically more in line with OG but the arm length is ideal for OT.
Forrest Lamp measured at a very short 32.25" arm length.
Julie'n Davenport had the longest arm length at 36.5".

EDIT 1 - Some WR notes:
Corey Davis 6'2.875", 209 lbs
Zay Jones 6'2.125", 201 lbs
Cooper Kupp at 6'1.5" tall, 204 lbs
JuJu Smith-Schuster at 6'1.375" tall, 215 lbs, good sized hands at 10.5". Watching some of his tape, he reminds me of Marvin Jones.
Mike Williams at good height/weight (6'3.5", 218 lb), hand size average (9.375")
EDIT 2 - DL and LB notes:
Taco Charlton has ideal Bengal 4-3 DE measurements - 6'5.5", 277 lbs, 34.25" arms
Malik McDowell looks to be trying to fill out his frame and be a true DT or 3-4 DE - 6'6", 295 lbs, 34.75" arms
DEs Daeshon Hall, Deatrich Wise, and Tanoh Kpassagnon also have that ideal size/length, 6'5+", 265+ lbs, 35.625" arm length
Demarcus Walker and Solomon Thomas identical arm length at 33", which is on the shorter end
Haason Reddick participating as a DL, not LB. 6'1", 237 lbs.
Reuben Foster down to 229 lbs, only 6' tall on the dot.
Cunningham 234 lbs but 6'3"
Anzalone, Beckwith, Davis, McMillan all in the 238-243 lb range, also all 6'1" to 6'3". Ideal LB range for what Bengals typically prefer.
Jabrill Peppers participating as a LB, not DB. 5'11", 213 lbs
EDIT 3 - TE notes:
Jeremy Sprinkle with Bengals preferred TE measurements - 6'5", 252 lbs, 34.5" arms, largest hands at 10.75"
Evan Engram lightest TE at 234 lbs, only 6'3". Likely just going to always be a big receiver
Adam Shaheen heaviest TE at 278 lbs, 6'6". Big dude.
A lot of TEs are in the 6'4"-6'5" range, 245-255 lb range.
David Njoku has second-longest arms, 35.25" behind Pharaoh Brown (35.625")
