\"Bengals'<\/p>\n

The Cincinnati Bengals feel a little unpredictable throughout the 2025 NFL draft, especially with it seeming like an underrated position is a Round 1 possibility and they keep putting in work on big names at running back.<\/p>\n

Experts, though, tend to align with fan thinking that the Bengals need to worry about the offensive line in front of Joe Burrow and every layer of the defense.<\/p>\n

ESPN’s Field Yates, for example, just threw out his ideal picks for the Bengals in the upcoming draft and follows that plan:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Grey Zabel, G, North Dakota State<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Azareye’h Thomas, CB, Florida State<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Kyle Kennard, Edge, South Carolina<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    Quincy Riley, CB, Louisville<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  5. \n

    Cam Horsley, DT, Boston College<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  6. \n

    Marques Sigle, S, Kansas State<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In that writeup Yates mentions that the offensive line is the most important thing, then he would like to see the Bengals add corners of different sizes and a strong pass-rushing prospect.<\/p>\n

    It’s certainly an approach fans will like. Zabel keeps getting mentioned alongside the Bengals and would prevent them from starting one of Cody Ford-Cordell Volson-Lucas Patrick at guard next year.<\/p>\n

    The pass-rushing depth is an unproven problem behind Trey Hendrickson, who has that contract drama of his own. And cornerback features a host of younger names yet to emerge as high-quality and consistent, headlined by Cam Taylor-Britt and Dax Hill.<\/p>\n

    Right now, this seems like the best possible approach for the Bengals, provided it aligns with their overall board.<\/p>\n
