Bengals Mock Draft: Delane, Branch, Orange

It's April 2nd, welcome to NFL News Today, powered by AI and ready for kickoff.

The Cincinnati Bengals hold early picks in the first three rounds of the NFL draft, sitting

at 10th overall, then 41st and 72nd.

That means they might not snag the absolute top talent, but they've got prime shots at

high upside players.

ESPN's latest three-round mock from Mel Kuiper, field yates and Matt Miller, hands the

matriot of intriguing prospects across defense and offense.

Seeing it off at number 10, Matt Miller slots an LSU cornerback man-sword delaying.

He's seen as an upgrade over the Bengals current outside corners, like DJ Turner the second

and Dax Hill, filling a clear need in the secondary amid, broader defensive gaps at edge, corner

or linebacker.

Then things get wild in round two, with Kuiper mocking Georgia's five-foot-nine wide-out

Zachariah Branch to Cincinnati at 41st.

Picture this pint-sized speedster, joining Joe Burrow, John Mark Chase and T Higgins,

another explosive playmaker to stretch the field and keep.

Defences guessing, yates rounds it out in the third, with Iowa State defensive tackle

Dominique Orange, aka Big Citrus, at 72nd.

This interior beast could beef up the D line and bring some personality to the trenches.

Overall it's a bold mock haul mixing shutdown coverage, gadget offense, and run-stuffing

power high-risk high-reward moves that could supercharge.

The Bengals, if they pan out, come Draft Knight.
