ESPN's Mel Kiper has released a two-round mock draft where the Cincinnati Bengals select LSU cornerback Mansoor Delane and Texas A&M pass-rusher Cashius Howell. This draft scenario is considered a good outcome for the Bengals, addressing their needs at cornerback and pass-rusher.
The Cincinnati Bengals may get a boost in the NFL draft with LSU cornerback Mansoor Delane and Texas A&M pass-rusher Cashius Howell, according to ESPN's Mel Kiper's two-round mock draft. Delane is technically sound and can make plays to get the defense off the field. The Bengals already have boundary starters in Dax Hill and DJ Turner, but need a slot starter. Howell had 11.5 sacks and 16.5 tackles for loss last season, making him a nice rotational piece to develop after the losses of Trey Hendrickson, Joseph Ossai, and Cam Sample. The Bengals would still be hoping for breakouts from Shemar Stewart and Myles Murphy, plus a boost from Boye Mafe. This draft outcome is considered a good scenario for the Bengals if the board falls this way.
