Bengals prospect visit might hint at NFL draft plans
This visit for the Bengals might reveal what they're thinking for the draft.
Offensive line continues to quietly lurk as a need for the Cincinnati Bengals in the upcoming draft. It’s not just the concerning depth on the interior, either. The Bengals could use another swing backup offensive tackle to get in the mix and improve the depth and long-term outlook there.
That might explain why the Bengals have a “30” visit lined up with Florida’s Austin Barber. Barber revealed the news during a chat with Sports Illustrated’s Justin Melo : “I had formal and informal interviews at the NFL Combine. I met with a bunch of teams at the Senior Bowl.
I’ve pretty much met with every team in the NFL. I’m about to take some pre-draft “30” visits with the Cincinnati Bengals , Tennessee Titans, and the Arizona Cardinals. ” Here’s NFL.
com’s Lance Zierlein on Barber: “Tall tackle prospect with starting experience at both tackle spots. He’s played against top-tier talent in the SEC, which bolsters his case, but his struggles against Texas A&M and Miami provide an idea of his ceiling. He has good feet and strong hands.
