Stripe Hype 7-Round Bengals Mock Draft Compilation
Author: Larry Spicer
Round 1, Pick 1:
Joe Burrow, QB, LSU– What can be said that hasn’t already been said. The future face of the franchise.
Round 2, Pick 33:
Jalen Reagor, WR, TCU- Between A.J. Green’s contract and John Ross injury concerns, there is uncertainty at wide receiver beyond the 2020 season. Reagor provides an explosive threat on the outside with the ability to play the slot as well. He could develop into a future number 1 receiver.
Round 3, Pick 65:
Akeem Davis Gaither, LB, Appalachian State– Would be a perfect fit alongside Germaine Pratt. Ultra-athletic with the skillset to be an excellent linebacker in every phase.
Round 4, Pick 107:
Alex Highsmith, Edge, Charolette– Athletic edge defender who flashes tons of potential. This small school prospect may need time to develop but shows very high upside in the fourth round.
Round 5, Pick 147:
Lynn Bowden, WR/RB, Kentucky – The ultimate do it all offensive threat. Not completely polished yet can do everything on offense. He has the heart of a lion and is dangerous in the return game as well.
Round 6, Pick 180:
Terence Steele, T, Texas Tech– Big and strong. He seemed to be a favorite of Jim Turner during Senior Bowl week. Could develop into something down the road.
Round 7, Pick 215:
Chris Orr, LB, Wisconsin- Orr has been rumored as a player the Bengals have contacted during the pre-draft process. Not spectacular but solid linebacker for the Badgers.
