Jeffrey Becker-USA TODAY Sports All that and a Bag of Chips. The Cincinnati Bengals finally drafted a tight end. A Fairfield High School graduate, Erick All to the scenic route home to Cincinnati. After 4 years at Michigan, where he was a team captain, he missed most of his final season due to a back injury. All transferred to the renowned tight end factory that we call Iowa, where he started strong with 21 receptions for 299 yards and three TDs in just seven games before tearing his ACL in his right knee. If healthy, All would have never been a Day 3 pick. In fact, former and now current team ..read more

The Cincinnati Bengals got an elite talent in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft when they selected Alabama wide receiver Jermaine Burton with the 80th overall pick. Burton adds a lot of talent to a wide receiver room that already boasts Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Character concerns may have led to Burton falling, but his potential has never been questioned. Burton has the ability to play both outside and in the slot effectively and has some of the strongest hands in the draft. On the PFF NFL Podcast, Steve Palazzolo called Bu ..read more

Amarius Mims | Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports Amarius Mims filled a glaring need. Talk about an embarrassment of riches. Troy Fautanu, Jared Verse, Chop Robinson, Jer’Zhan Newton, Amarius Mims, and Brian Thomas Jr. were all on the board for the Cincinnati Bengals at pick No. 18. Defensive ends, offensive tackles, defensive tackle, and wide receiver were there for the taking. With this kind of talent available at pick No. 18 of the 2024 NFL Draft, it was hard to go wrong. And the Cincinnati Bengals ‘probably’ got it right. Mims, at 6-foot-7 and 340 pounds, was probably the most logical choice ..read more

Photo by John Smolek/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images There’s no debating this was a risky draft class for the Bengals. The Cincinnati Bengals added 10 new faces in the 2024 NFL Draft, and a few of their first picks were seen as riskier than most. With their first pick in the draft, the 18th overall selection, the Bengals took Georgia Bulldogs offensive tackle Amarius Mims. Mims is massive, and he could be among the best tackles in the NFL eventually. The key word is, eventually, as there are only eight games of starting footage on the tackle, giving a wide range of how he could actually turn ..read more

Photo by Ryan Kang/Getty Images The Bengals took some risks with their 10 picks. With the first of their 10 picks in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Bengals selected Georgia offensive tackle Amarius Mims with the 18th overall selection. Despite having great size and elite athleticism for his size, many view the pick as a risk, mainly due to his lack of starts (8) at Georgia. From there, the Bengals would make nine more selections through the weekend, and seemingly, each of them has their own risk factors to go with their big potential upside. Not all of their picks lined up with Arif Hasan’s big board ..read more
