CINCINNATI — Sports Illustrated’s Matt Verdarame dropped a draft trade for all 32 teams this week. He has the Bengals trading up to No. 15 from No. 17 to select Texas A&M edge rusher Shemar Stewart.

Atlanta is dealing pick No. 15 and No. 218 to Bengals for No. 17 and No. 119 in this exercise.

“Stewart might be the ultimate boom-or-bust prospect in the first round,” Verdarame wrote. “He ran a 4.59 40-yard-dash at 267 pounds. Still, he wasn’t particularly dominant with the Aggies, totaling 1.5 sacks in each of his three seasons at College Station. That said, if he hits his ceiling, he could be a steal for Cincinnati.”

Stewart is the consensus big board’s 15th-best player and third-best edge rusher overall. The CBB has Cincinnati drafting Stewart as a trendy pick as of this writing.
