Prominent NFL mock drafts have Bengals taking LSU CB Mansoor Delane
ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. and The Athletic's Dane Brugler project LSU cornerback Mansoor Delane to be the Cincinnati Bengals at No. 10 overall.
A pair of noteworthy mock drafts were posted on Wednesday, April 15, with both projecting the Cincinnati Bengals to take LSU cornerback Mansoor Delane. ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. has the LSU corner who spent three seasons at Virginia Tech at the 10th pick overall.
The first round of the 2026 NFL draft is scheduled for April 23 in Pittsburgh. Dane Brugler from The Athletic follows suit with Delane with Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles and Miami Hurricanes edge Ruben Bains Jr. theoretically off the board by then.
