\"NFL<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Cincinnati Bengals\u00a0earned some mixed overall reviews from outsiders for their six-pick trip to the 2025 NFL draft.<\/p>\n

But that isn’t stopping some of Cincinnati’s picks from popping up on\u00a0best of<\/em>\u00a0lists.<\/p>\n

Case in point, ESPN’s\u00a0Matt Miller\u00a0just issued his top 100 picks of the draft and listed two for the\u00a0Bengals: First-rounder Shemar Stewart and third-round guard Dylan Fairchild.<\/p>\n

Miller’s writeup about Stewart:<\/p>\n

“Stewart starred in the predraft process, acing the combine and showing his explosive ability in testing. The Bengals were intrigued enough to make a small reach in terms of value, but Stewart’s upside is as high as any player in the class. If he can turn his testing numbers into production on a Cincinnati defense that is seeking help, Stewart will look like a steal at No. 17.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Who's<\/p>\n

In real-time and right after, perhaps the Stewart pick wasn’t flashy. But\u00a0as we wrote in instant analysis, the fact that he can set the edge and play a sort of Sam Hubbard role might’ve appealed to the team. So does the sheer developmental, physical upside that the coaches hope to unlock.<\/p>\n

While it’s not universally popular, the Bengals’ draft haul this year at least has high points that analysts like Miller can point at to make sense of the picks.<\/p>\n
