| Caitie McMekin/News Sentinel / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images The NFL Draft is so close you can almost taste it, and the Cincinnati Bengals find themselves in an intriguing spot at No. 10 overall. There is a list of about six to nine players (depending on who you talk to) that Cincinnati should be ecstatic to see fall to them.
However, being at No. 10 means they need some unexpected things to happen to be sure to have one fall. That is a point that Paul Dehner Jr.
wrote about in his latest article for The Athletic. Out of his list of players is Jermod McCoy, who Dehner projected the Bengals to ultimately select, despite the fact that several NFL teams have taken McCoy off the board due to the ACL tear he suffered in early 2025 that led to him missing the entire season. Who will be the most likely to slip down the board?
