2027 NFL mock draft: Way-too-early Bengals 7-round projections
An early look at what the Bengals could hope to do in the next draft.
The 2026 NFL Draft is in the books. So naturally, the media is quickly turning the page and looking ahead to the 2027 NFL Draft. It's normal for outlets to post early thoughts on the following year's draft, but especially this one.
The 2027 draft class, at least early on, has a chance to be special. A handful of quarterbacks, starting with Texas' Arch Manning, could go early in the first round and arguably the best player in college football finally becomes draft-eligible, that being Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith. So why not do a way-too-early seven-round mock for 2027 for the Cincinnati Bengals ?
Why? Because we're nuts. Let's get started.
No. 17 - Ellis Robinson IV, CB, Georgia The Bengals did take a cornerback in this year's draft, taking Tacario Davis of Washington in the third round. That's a bit of a head start as the Bengals will soon have plenty of decisions to make at the position.
