All the noise around the Cincinnati Bengals when it comes to draft work right now reaffirms the team’s obvious needs going into the event.

The latest and greatest proof resides in the interest around Tennessee Volunteers defensive lineman Omarr Norman-Lott.

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Norman-Lott visited with the Bengals on Wednesday.

Over two seasons at Tennessee, Norman-Lott recorded 9.5 sacks over 23 games and generally projects as a mid-round pick with some upside to play in a rotation as a pro.

That said, Norman-Lott is an older prospect who spent three seasons at Arizona State before the transfer to Tennessee, so actual upside yet realized might be limited.

As always, the interest speaks volumes to how the Bengals feel about the front seven, though. Not even counting the Trey Hendrickson drama, the team needs help on the interior and more athletic pressure creators on the edges.
