NFL insider floats a ‘wild-card’ rumor about Bengals’ first-round pick
Would the Bengals really make this pick in the first round of the NFL draft?
The Cincinnati Bengals have a really small list of obvious draft targets at No. 10 overall this year. Those fall on the defensive side of the ball, of course.
There’s Caleb Downs and Sonny Styles. Then there’s the cornerback debate between Mansoor Delane and Jermod McCoy. But what about Kadyn Proctor?
For those a little blindsided by this, Proctor out of Alabama is one of the best offensive tackles in the draft class. Not a familiar name to Bengals fans, given the focus on defense. But Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated floated the idea in a recent mailbag: “Damon, my guess is that No.
10 is close to being the floor for Downs. I don’t say that unequivocally because I think Bain could be in play for them, as well as the top two corners (again, depending on what they think of McCoy’s knee). I’d also throw Proctor in there as a wild-card name I’ve heard for Cincinnati.
