I think I've seen enough to give my one and only mock draft. I don't see any additional personnel changes moving forward. Keep in mind that this is what I think the Bengals will do, not what I would do. I'm using ESPN's board, so the "no way he will be there comments" are probably correct, but I am just going off their rankings.
1. Leonard Fournette, RB - LSU. I don't really know if he will be there, but a lot of people seem to think that OJ Howard could go to the Jets or the Panthers. IF that's the case, it pushes him down to us.2
2. Tim Williams, Edge - Alabama. If he's here, you have to take him. I still contend he is the best pass rusher in the draft. He'll be an immediate impact player on 3rd downs.
3. Sidney Jones, CB - Washington. This is a tough one for me, but a lot of guys have him as the #1 overall CB. Leon Hall had a couple achille's injuries, so I think the Bengals will roll the dice on him.
4. KD Cannon, WR - Baylor. A lot of people are clamoring for Ross, but I don't see him at #9. Cannon has the speed to stretch the field.
4. Eddie Jackson, S - Alabama. I think if he was healthy, he would have a much higher grade.
5. Jarron Jones, DT - Notre Dame. This guy is a real pig. Should be a nice fit in run stuffing packages.
5. Jon Toth, C - Kentucky. I would have liked a center earlier, but it was either Tim Williams or Elflein.
6. Zane Gonzalez, K - Arizona State. No way I'm leaving the draft without a kicker.
6. Corey Clement, RB - Wisconsin. The Bengals checked him out earlier. We need another back since Gio is injured.
7. Cethan Carter, TE - Nebraska. He was pretty good in the passing game at Nebraska. Might fill a developmental need,
7. Chad Kelly, QB - Ole Miss. Let's face it, at some point McCarron is going to be gone. He's a nice developmental prospect.
