April is right around the corner which means it’s almost the month of the draft. In less than four weeks, the mock drafts will end and the real draft will start and we’ll actually start putting players to teams for real.<\/p>\n
For now, we’re still in mock draft mode, so let’s take another look at some recent mock drafts and who could potentially be the pick at No. 17 for the Cincinnati Bengals.<\/p>\n
“The Bengals are set to take another receiver when Trey Hendrickson walks in, rips the card in half, and threatens to sue the Bengals organization if they don’t take a defender who can contribute. Now in a bind, Duke Tobin selects Green.”<\/p>\n
“It looks like the Bengals might be able to keep Trey Hendrickson, but that wouldn’t stop me from adding to the defensive front. Cincinnati has met with Mike Green at the NFL Combine, and he’d be a great addition to their team. If the Bengals are comfortable with his previous off-the-field red flags, Green’s dominant tape is worthy of a top-20 pick.”<\/p>\n
“After paying big bucks to Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, the Bengals just need to find good football players on defense.<\/p>\n

“Malaki Starks is an elite safety prospect who checks a lot of boxes as an instinctive field general in the secondary, which is something the defense could really use if they’re able to hold onto Trey Hendrickson as a star pass rusher.”<\/p>\n
“Sliding Jeanty into this offensive core would be a dream come true, but how can Cincinnati continue to brazenly undervalue its offensive line?<\/p>\n
“The team could stand to upgrade multiple interior blocker spots in this class. Kelvin Banks was a tackle at Texas but profiles as an excellent guard candidate as he develops his hand placement and consistency. His movement traits and raw power are fantastic.”<\/p>\n
“Whether Trey Hendrickson plays for the Bengals this season or departs, the Bengals need to keep improving the pass rush. Green\u2019s testing matched his high-energy play and there’s a lot of excitement for Green\u2019s future in the NFL. ”<\/p>\n
“Teams must fully vet Green’s background, but on the field, he’s a ready-made pass-rush talent who has boosted his profile significantly over the past eight months. He’s not the longest, thickest pass rusher in the class, but Green plays full tilt and has an arsenal of moves to get home.”<\/p>\n
“The Bengals go best player available here with Starks, and he’ll help to rebuild the secondary in Cincinnati.”<\/p>\n
