Bengals Eye Offensive Line Help in Draft

0:00On April 9th, the Cincinnati Bengals are quietly eyeing offensive line help in the upcoming draft, especially for depth on the interior and a solid, swing backup tackle. They set up a top 30 visit with Florida's Austin Barber, a tall tackle who started on both sides and faced tough SEC competition. Right now, the Bengals feel good with Orlando Brown locked in long-term and a merrius mims holding down the other spot, but Cody Ford is their only real. Swing backup option. That lack of reliable depth stands out in a league where injuries hit the line hard. Barber brings good feet and strong hands to the table, but Scouts note he needs work on bending at the point of attack and holding up against power. Rushers. He's seen as a day-three pick with swing tackle potential down the road. This move shows the Bengals prioritizing fresh talent to build out their line, staying ahead of league trends on depth. Keep an eye on how Barber fits into their draft plans as the process heats up. This has been NFL News Today, powered by AI.
