After the conference championships and us knowing where most of the teams will be drafting, I decided to do a Bengals Mock Draft.
Round 1: Reuben Foster, ILB: Alabama
Foster is a very nice linebacker with incredible tackling and decent coverage of tight-ends and wide receivers. He would be a dream scenario to team up with Burfict to create a tackling and coverage linebacking corps that we need desperately. We suck at covering tight ends and making tackles and miss a lot of tackles, Foster would help a TON!
Round 2: Taco Charlton, DE: Michigan
We need pass rushers and Charlton would be a great addition to the rotation (or a replacement for Michael Johnson), I know some may want to take a DE in the 1st but I feel like this draft is deep at the pass rushing category.
Round 3: Tyler Orlosky, C: WVU
Decent blocker that isn't the most athletic but makes plays by being aggressive and standing his point. We need a replacement for bodine soon and Orlosky could be that.
Round 4: Isaiah Ford, WR: Virginia Tech
Someone who could be our #2 or #3 if we don't resign Brandon LaFell, a bit inconsistent but can make deep plays and has the ability to go up and get it.
Round 5: D'Onta Foreman, RB: Texas
A deep running back class has us somehow getting lucky and getting Foreman who has a great change of direction and can be our RB1 from day one if Gio isn't healed and Hill isn't the guy.
Round 6: Zane Gonzalez, K
Someone who can compete for the Kicker spot and maybe be our starting kicker.
Round 7: Chad Kelly, QB: Ole Miss
Went down in draft rankings due to injury, could see him be a decent addition if we end up trading McCarron.
