The calendar says April. That means the NFL Draft is this month, and
what better way to kick off draft month than with three lock drafts. You
are Locked On Bengals, your daily Cincinnati Bengals podcast, part of the Locked
On podcast network, your team every day what not Bengals hands and welcome to
another episode of the Lockdown Bengals podcast. I'm your host, Jake. Let's
go. He's your host, James Rapine. We're covering the Bengals here on
Lockdown Bengals Every Day, part of the Lockdown Podcast Network. We're on YouTube,
We're everywhere you get your podcasts, and if you're new to the show,
please subscribe if you like daily Bengals analysis and news, because that's what
you're going to get here on Lockdown Bengals. We appreciate all you every day
is out there that are already part of the community, all the Life on
Bengals insider subscribers, and if you're interested in that, go find a link
in the description below. And James, Today we dive into three that's right,
three mock drafts. We're going to pull up the first one here.
We're starting with Pro Football Network. We've got three simulators to go through our
three drafts today. Let's go to the simulator who I instantly as you switch
over, see options here, see offensive line options, see trench options,
which is exactly what I think a lot of people are in on Jake and
whether it's Jared Versu at edge who I think we need to talk about defensive
end at a bigger topic as far as it comes to the eighteenth pick.
But Troy Fatanu falling to eighteen JC Lathan there, Johnny Newton, Byron Murphy
into two top offensive tackles, two top defensive tackles. This is a pretty
good scenario for the Bengals. Yeah. I think that a theme that we're
going to see today is there will be options at eighteen. It just depends
on what those options are. And in this case, James, we can
pick, in my opinion, one of the better tackle guard prospects in this
class. You can start at guard if he needs to, and if he
sticks at guard, great, you can deal with tackle in the future.
If he starts and is amazing at guard. And that's Troy Fatanu out of
Washington. Very good athletes saw that show U show up in a big way
at the NFL Combine, and he's really stood out to Eagles offensive line coach
Stoutlands as well, who worked him out at the Combine. The Eagles are
talking about trading up for him. So if he is available to the Bengals,
I think that he needs to be strongly considered here. The other top
choices that we're talking about, like you said, Jac Lathan and Johnny Newton,
Bibro Murphy. We've picked Newton, We've picked Murphy. We've talked about
Latham a lot. Since Latham didn't test and he's not expected to test before
the Combine, We've talked a lot on this show, James about not picking
offensive linemen who don't test. And as much as I love his film,
go Tiebreakers here, if you want to call it that, you can go
fatan him instead. Yeah, I think the athleticism element is the tiebreaker for
me, which is the other hand of it is you don't know with JC
Latham, but I'm open to picking JC Latham. So he's not in my
doghouse completely, and I get the risk involved with not testing, but Fatanu
is getting top top ten hype. Yeah. I read something on ESPN on
Friday about that, and that's what's interesting is there are so many stud tackles,
and I say that in quotes because who knows if they end up being
studs, but high end tackles, and we don't know how teams view these
guys. I think Joe Alt's the consensus number one, but after that,
I think it's a pick your flavor, and we both agree on this one.
I think Troy Fatanho is the right play, and if the Bengals land
him at eighteen, I think a lot of people would be excited because to
your point, there's a real chance that he could threaten to start at multiple
spots right away, certainly down the line as well. Yeah, and part
of this is also that we've picked Newton and Murphy. We've done the defensive
tackle in the first round scenario a couple of times now, So let's chut
take an offensive lineman here in the first round and see who's on the border
force in round two? Is Byron Murphy falls all the way into the second
round in this scenario, which is a little bit surprising, but here we
are on the clock. Game. No. I wanted to go right back
to the trenches. Rouke A Rover Roe is there, but you're very upset
because your favorite receivers in this draft. I think Troy Franklin, Malachai Corley
go off the board two picks before our second round. What the hell?
This almost played out exactly how I needed to show it for Bengals fans,
because I've been talking about pick forty nine and how I think that that's the
potential best spot for the Bengals to take a receiver, and this kind of
does prove my point is that the cliff could happen very very quickly. And
with Malachai Coraley, that's fine. Go off the board, my man.
But Troy Franklin, you gotta fall to forty nine and to get sniped and
to go to Jacksonville that stinks. The good news is Xavier Lagette is still
there, and I think he stands out man. I'm bummed his Burton still
there from Alabama, I would assume, so he's probably much lower there is
at one oh six on the big He's gonna go higher than these simulators think
as well. So just throwing that out there now, I think I'll go
ahead of like Roman Wilson, guys like that, who's still available as well.
Jalynn Polk, Ricky Persaw still available. Jayleen McMillan still a bummer that
Franklin's gone and that cort Lea's gone. So h not the automatic go with
a receiver. I think that I would have felt if Troy was there.
But what's interesting to me you mentioned a roll row. I think defensive line
is very much in play here. Patrick Paul probably off the board. Your
guy Chris Jenkins could be in play here. Michael Hall Junior could be in
play here. I think defensive tackle might be the way they go based on
this, which isn't necessarily my plan. Doesn't mean they wouldn't go with the
Trey Benson or one of those receivers, but I also think defensive tackle will
be high on their board. Yeah, I don't think it would be crazy
to take any of those receivers you talked about. If Flagett is there in
the second round at forty nine, could definitely see it. He was a
late breakout that is not something Bengals typically have done. But he's a physical
freak and he was productive once he started producing at South Carolina, and we've
talked about his path to production. I believe on this podcast in the past
where they started treating him as a gadget guy, screens only user athleticism,
and it was only recently that he really started running a full route tree and
when he did, he was good. Jelen Polk and Jayla McMillan. I
think the Washington receivers have been under discussed in general for the Bengals as teams
looking for a receiver, and Ricky Pursl is a guy that is seen by
some is a perfect fit for what the Bengals want to do. I don't
think he's a slot only wide receiver. I know our pal Joe Gibberry has
talked about him a little bit that way. I don't think it is quite
that For me personally, I wouldn't be opposed to any of those guys.
But I'm looking at Mike Hall here, James. He just had a crazy
set of testing numbers, and as the Ohio State Pro Day numbers were official,
line is made official. I don't think officialized his word. But Michael
Hall Junior for another piece as a rotational three tech, and I know some
Bengals fans are sitting there thinking, what do you mean, why are we
going another three tech? Why not somebody who's a little bit more versatile,
or somebody like Tavandris Well, Well, Tovandris what has been picked and this
is one of the simulators where he does go before the Bengals pick at forty
nine pretty often. What are you thinking here, James Well, I like
the idea of Michael Hall Junior and let's do it just to see what happens
in round three. And one thing Marcus Mosher put out there the list of
defensive tackles that have run a four to seven five forty yard dash at two
hundred and ninety pounds. Tank Johnson four sixty nine, Geno Atkins four seven
to five, Earl Mitchell four seven to five, and Michael Hall Junior for
seven to five. Let's take Michael and see what we can do in round
three. Yeah, freaky athlete. We've got two picks here in the third
round, James, So we want to go running back right away? Do
we want to take a look at wide receiver first? Because bid receiver has
been picked over from the second round to the third round. Jermaine Burton's still
there. But outside of that, there's nobody else on this list. And
I'm ecstatic about in the third round avontees Walker, Johnny Wilson, Malik Washington,
Jamary Thrash, the other guys at the top of the board here at
wide receiver. If you just take a peek at tight end, the guys
that I like at tight end for this round have been picked and Ben Sinnet
quite a lot earlier in this simulators board castover THEO Johnson the top options there
any other positions you'd like to peak at quickly? I will mention Brandon Rice
still on the board as well. Wide receiver wise, No, I don't
think so it's not too early for a running back. I think this is
where it comes into play for the Bengals. But you look at it and
all these guys I think are going to be a little lower down there board
brayln Allen Blake, Korham Blake, Bucky Irving, Adric Estima, and so
honestly, I'm I'm in on Burton here so far out of what I've seen,
I would probably take Jermaine Burton here because I do think that he's going
to go top eighty and around eighty is his floor given what I've heard.
Yeah, and if you were trying to come back and get a running back,
you could maybe get one with that second third round pick that we've got,
So we can go Burton here and we'll see what we get with that
last pick. On day two, the new compensatory pick the Bengals were awarded
down at ninety seven. Roger Rosengarten sitting at the top of the board.
McKinley Jackson, if you wanted to go for the nose tackle type, wouldn't
be opposed there at all. Mike san Rastril still there and that would be
very late for him, although I do think late day three, late day
two is more of what the expectations should be there between san Maristril and McKinley
Jackson here, I think James, Yeah, me too. I think Rosengarden's
long gone anyway, so let's try to be a little more realistic. Let's
go with Jackson. I think san Rastril. There's just so many questions as
far as what they do at Nickel, who's at Nickel, So let's do
that to finalize that. And so for our first mock of three in this
podcast, Troy Fatanu, Michael Hall Junior, Jermaine Burton, and McKinley jacks
And we will do mock number two coming up next. Today's show is brought

Fandle dot Com slash locked on Fandle America's number one sports book. I'll me
go to simulator number two. We're back at Pro Football Focus for this one,
James, and the top of the board here we've got Johnny Newton,
We've got Tallyfuaga, and those are the two guys I'm considering the most.
Amarius men still here, Jackson powers, Johnson still here for those considering those
options. Latu Latu has fallen in this one, and I'm again looking at
the defensive tackle tackle debate, James, and again I'm leaning toward a guy
with some positional flex in Fuaga who has played right tackle. And we've picked
Johnny Newton. We've done that scenario. Love Johnny Newton, nothing about that.
But Fuaga might be one of those guys that you feel pretty good about
picking over Newton. If he's there for the Bengals, I think he might
be the best case, most realistic offensive tackle prospect to fall to the Bengals.
Like, if you're saying, all right, Amarius Men's could be there,
jac Latham could be there, Troy Fatanu could be there, Foraga could
be there. I think is the best of the bunch, and so let's
take him. Let's laugh about it. I think we can address defensive line
a little bit later. Offensive line is much much harder, and I don't
think that these tackles are going to fall. Let's take Fuaga and laugh at
the rest of the league for letting it happen. I think that is one
of the things we found through doing these so far is that if we don't
take the tackle in the first round, it is very much a game of
craps throwing darts hoping that you can get a tackle after that. Just to
quickly go over some of the guys that had been picked in case you're wondering
about it, you're listening on the audio you can't see on YouTube. Jac
Latham has been picked, Mitchell has been picked, Troy Fatan, who has
been picked by ra Murphy has been picked. Brock Bauers of course has been
picked. Terry and Arnold has been picked. So we don't have any of
the corner options to pick from here. So tally, Fuaga is a pretty
easy selection, I think, although there would be some real consideration for oh
my God, for Johnny Newton, and of course the one time we talk
about how hard it is to find tackles outside of the first yeah, Kingsley.
Sue Mattea makes it to the Bengal second just happened like twice and all
the simulators I've done in the last month, so pretty rare scenario here.
I think he's more likely to go to top twenty five than he is to
fall to forty nine. I think first round is an easy place to project,
Sue Mattela. Yeah, so Zach Fraser still there. We took him
in a mock last week. Roumin Wilson the Michigan wide receivers. There,
guys that are gone, xavierl la Guett to the Patriots at thirty four,
Donny Mitchell to the Cardinals thirty five, and Troy Franklin my guy, to
the Titans. Come on, Brian, the hell you doing? I thought
we were friends. Brian Callahan Snipe and Mike gy at thirty eight overall,
Mike san Astrel going forty eighth overall to the Jags, Lad McConkie forty seventh.
Oh, breaking my heart. I'm gonna go to New York too.
I don't know what the hell is going on, but I'm trying to get
a second round wide receiver, darn it, and they're not letting it happen.
Who do we have out of these four right now? Fraser braswell,
Sue Matia and Roman Wilson are the top guys on the PFF board. Who
else is there? You got Ricky Parsall, You got to Tavi on Sanders,
who I don't think is the second round prospect necessarily. Here's your Mme
Burton ranked much much differently on pffs where we got Ruc of row Row here
again to talk about. Jelenn Polk also there, Chris Jenkins also there.
I might pick Zach Fraser again. I don't know if that's too unvisional because
we just did it, but this represents a faller to me that that might
be my first instinct here. Sue Mattea wouldn't be opposed there, either wouldn't
be opposed to the double dip tackle. If Sue Mattela is the guy.
But if we just pretend that he's not available, because realistically neither of us
think that he will be, we could go a different direction. Yeah,
Sue Mattia is the pick, but he's not going to be available. It's
it's a myth, it's fiction, it's whatever you want to call it.
So we're not going to play in those waters. Let's go in with Zach
Fraser. And by the way, the trench guys just loving this Fuaga Fraser,
I promise you I'm going to get I promise you skill players, we're
gonna get you here coming up. But let's go with Zach Fraser. Let's
hope that the value lines up. I hate yeah. Tavandreswhitt goes one pick
before us here at seventy nine. Jalen McMillan, a guy that I would
consider in the third round, go seventy six. Yvon Baker goes seventy five,
Jalen Wright goes seventy three, Jonathan Brooks goes seventy two. A little
mini running back run there. Chris Jenkins makes it all the way to sixty
seven, Roman Wilson sixty three, Jalynn Polk fifty nine. So some of
the guys we were looking at a wide receiver obviously have been picked. And
at the top of the PFF board is Blake Korn, Blake Fisher two,
Blake's Max Milton, Jamari Thrash Malachi Corley, who I think is probably going
to be our pick here in the third round. If he's available, and
Trey Benson, who I think honestly deserves some consideration as well. Yeah,
well those are the two that I how real stick do we want to be
here? Because one, I would be shocked if Blake Fisher's here at this
point. I think that he's either pick forty nine or not. The fact
that these tackles have fallen is interesting. I don't think it's realistic to your
point. Trey Benson like him a lot, Malachi Corley like him a lot.
I don't think he falls to eighty. Of those two. It's really
close, and I think both are game changers. I would probably take Trey
Benson and I love Malachai Coury, but it's it's round three, and I
really like Trey Benson if you're getting him here, don't. I don't know
if the Bengals will use Courley the way he probably should be used. That's
part of it. I think that I think that a guy is way more
plug and play is Trey Benson and would give that running back room a huge
boost. That said, it is thinner at receiver, it's tough. I
wouldn't be mad either way. I think Malachi Corley obviously plays the more important
Possesson, and what do you think. I understand that Corley play is a
better position. I would be comfortable picking Corley here. If to your point,
you're comfortable with the Bengals having a plan for Corley, the next running
back is probably marshn Lloyd object Estimately, I'm fine with Braylan Allen. I'm
fine with So there are some other running backs that we could come back to
a little bit later if we think there's a big fall off after Corley.
That being said, at wide receiver, if you wanted to come back and
take a Brendan Rice or Jacob Cowing out of Arizona, who we know the
Bengals worked out at his pro day, or Malik Washington or even Luke McCaffrey
a little bit later. Actually, those are just talking out of it.
I want to go with Corley. All those are spot guys. You just
talked me out. They are they are probably. I think Corley can do
more than that, though, if you have a plan for him. So
we're gonna say the Bengals have a plan for Coraley, go Malacai Corley here.
I think that's great value either way. To be honest, it looks
like the running back has been picked. But Dominic Pooney again the trench guy's
falling in this one. I think Dominic Poney at the end of the third
round will be a great pick. Michael Hall, who we picked earlier,
I think in the previous mock, all the way down at ninety seven,
I think that would be a great pick. What do you think in here,
James? Yeah, those two stand out keeps going down. Let's just
see if there's anyone else that stands out. But Jacob Cowing's still there if
you think, oh well, wait, to me, it's still a little
early. Odric Estima is the one. To me, Travis Brownley Junior is
another one, the corn out of Louisville, But Odric Estima is one.
You get this extra third round pick, that might be the way to go.
But to me, Cooper Bebee's there, yep, And I don't know
if we'll fall, but if he's really there, and this is the problem
with the PFF simulator you're seeing it right now, is the trenches are just
falling farther than they actually will on draft day. He's probably the pick for
me, the guard out of Kansas, and we already have an interior alignment.
We already have an offensive tackle, so it depends do we want to
be realistic or not. Because I do think he'll be going by I think
i'd want to be a I don't think that. I think BB's a late
round two, early round three, not an end of round three. But
we could be wrong. Maybe PFF is spot on here. Ben Sennett another
one here that I would be strongly considering if he makes it to the end
of the third round. We're seeing the disparity and the big boards here between
Pro Football Network, which had Senate in the sixties and PFF, which has
him down in the one to thirties. But there aren't many tight ends in
this class outside of brock Powers that are very interesting to me, and Ben
Sennitt is one of them. There's still a few running backs I like here.
McKinley Jackson, who he picked in the Pro Football Network simulator, would
would be an option here as well. I think Bbe. I'm kind of
thinking, what's up? I'm in on Bebe. I don't know what you're
thinking. Well, I was thinking I was thinking senate because I don't think
Bbe's going to be there. We could do senate and please the people,
Please the people. Huh. I mean, so if you pick Bybe,
then that means Fuaga has to stick it right tackle. You've got a center,
You've got to You've got a guard of the future, which is great
because the Bengals have eminent holes there with pending free agencies or near pending free
agencies for some of those players. Yeah, I mean you completely revamp your
offensive line and and have guys that are playing behind veterans from the jump.
All right, by the way, let's I'm draftinga to you know why to
play tackle, baby, I'm playing tackle with Fuaga. Say this, if
if BB is available to us and he is in the simulator, we're gonna
pick Cooper BB. Here. We'll come back in just a minute and jump
over to our third mock draft simulator. The results of this one we'll review
at the end. Fuaga, Fraser Corley Bebe. We'll be back for that
third mock coming up next. This show is sponsored by Better Help. A

one is with fans Speak and let's see here. Johnny Newton available, Brian
Thomas Junior available Byron Murphy. We're using Joe Goodbarry's draft board by the way
in oh Lou for shan now celebrate protecting Joe is available. This is easy.
I hope it's this easy on draft night where one of these stut offensive
tackles just falls because offensive tackle, offensive tackle, offensive tackle, and all
three of these I'm taking Olufashanu. What say you? Yeah, I'm done
with Olufashanu here as well. But this is an embarrassment of riches. You
can pick from a Olufashana. You can pick Byron Murphy, could pick Johnny
Newton, jac Lathan, Troy Fatanu. I mean, there's three tackles here
that I'm personally relatively comfortable with. But Fashan who is going to come out
higher than any of them, I believe on our board. Brian Thomas Junior
also there for the Brian Thomas Junior truthers who voted for him over Quinnon Mitchell
in our bracket last week. But Olufanu, I think this pick kind of
makes itself. Yeah, it does, easy money. Let's go with it.
We go to the second round, and the one thing I noticed as
we get here started in the second round is Johnny Newton, ad Mitchell,
Graham Barton all still available at the top of the second round. I don't
think any of them are going to make it to our pick, and of
course they don't. And we have a different group of players to talk about
here, James, as we're looking at things on Joe Goodberry's board. As
you mentioned, tov Andre Sweat, Braden Fisk. The top two interior defensive
line prospects available, Ricky pursl Cooper BB, devontees Walker from UNC Jelynn Polk
from Washington standout for wide receiver options. Anything else you want to look at
here Ruc of Rover Row we can talk about him again, Chris Jenkins.
A lot of receivers, Yeah, a lot of receivers. And I think
pick your flavor here. Do you want to go to the receiver route?
Do you want to go the defensive tackle route? Because Fisk could certainly help
at defensive line. I think a ro ro Row could certainly help Cooper beb.
We just praised him so that there's a few different options here. And
I'm thinking my guys at receiver are gone. It feels like like my top
guys. Yeah, Troy Franklin's gone, Malachai Corley is still there. You
mentioned Polk in person. All up to you. What do you think I
would like to pick Devandros Sweat for the first time in a long time,
if maybe ever. Devandre Sweat had an excellent senior year at Texas. Is
the DJ reader body type, a little bit heavier even, is one of
one in terms of a nose tackle who can push the pocket and do a
little bit more than just be a space eater in this class. The question
is, of course, is he going to stay motivated, is he going
to stay in shape? And those are the questions that are potentially pushing him
out of the second round altogether. But let's pretend that the Bengals have had
him in for a visit and are really comfortable with his fitness, and he
weighs three point fifty and they're comfortable about his fit. The player is really
exciting and if he can check those boxes for them, then he could be
the pick here. Sure, he absolutely could. I think this is the
earliest that they would consider him, and if he checks all of those boxes,
will get real consideration at pick forty nine. So yeah, let's go
with Devandre Sweat and see how the board plays out. A lot of people
would be excited with Devandre Sweat here, Olufashanu and Tovandre Sweat, the Bengals
getting beef in the trenches with their first couple of picks. And the nice
part is, well, we'll see here as you start the round who's going
to be available and who's not and man wide receiver got picked over a bit
there. I was hoping overall is as far as top players are concerned,
Blake Fisher is still there. Surprised by that, to be honest with you,
but he's still there. Roger Rose and Garden is also available at Washington.
Ben Sennett available for those that are worried or thinking of a tight end
here, and Senate as we can see higher here than on the PFF board.
Somewhere between the PFF and the Pro Football Network ranking. Let's just look
at wide receiver to see if there's somebody here that we're happy to pick.
Because Jalen McMillan, Jermaine Burton, Javon Baker in the third round, I
think I'm very happy with any of those. I know that Brendan Rice and
Johnny Wilson are higher on this consensus board right now. I am a little
bit more comfortable with McMillan, Burton, Baker. Burton more the vertical type
and the downfield threat. Ye, not as much of a yards after catch
guy. McMillan, more of a technician, Baker a little bit of everything
in his game, not a burner. Though that the limited top end athleticism
does show up the inconsistency does show up from time to time. But I've
talked about with Baker before. If he does put it all together in the
NFL, I think you've got yourself a very good wide receiver two to go
along with Jamaar Chase. So if you wanted to go receiver, those guys
stand out to me the most. Yeah, I think we've taken Baker in
one. I think we've taken We obviously took Burton earlier. Let's take let's
take McMillan here, and this is this is a guy who's probably hitting the
ground running in the slot right away, right away, can be your slot
receiver and has less baking time. In that regard, Arden and Jermain Burton,
Javon Baker make it all the way to the end of the third round.
If you wanted to double dip immediately a wide receiver. But what other
positions do we need to look at him? We've got a tackle. Oh
my god, Burton, Oh my god, Now you're speaking my language.
Nah, here we go, Jake, all right, have we picked a
running back in any of these yet? No? But I'm staring at your
boy Jalen right here, and I'm like all right, this is time.
This is the Jalen Right. I mean, you could pick any of these
three running backs for those not watching on YouTube, Jalen Right, Braylan,
Alan, Odric Estime. I'd be happy with any of those guys. I
think at ninety seven we could also talk about tight end. Let's just take
a look Jaheem Bell Wiley. There's been a lot of a lot of hype
about him. I guess I need to learn more about him. Yeah,
interesting that he's there at corner. Max Melton at the end of the third
is the guy I would be thrilled about. I think he's probably a two
to early three. I think Jalen Wright, it's around later. I want
weapons for Joe and two of them here, do we? Yeah? Million
right, yeah, so right, this this draft would check the boxes of
offensive tackle, defensive tackle weapons. It kind of hits on all of those.
I'm very tempted by Max Melton. Here meets the guys that I wouldn't
be upset about. Here would be like right, Burton, Melton, Estimate,
Braylon Allen, and probably Zach Zenter as well, the interior lineman from
Michigan. All guys, I'd be fine with Javon Baker also available. Would
be pretty happy with any of those. But I do like Jalen Wright,
and I do like the explosion that he offers. Yeah, and let's there's
a very real scenario where they take a running back in the first three rounds.
It just is and so let's let's go with that. So all right,
real quick for those keeping score at home, we did three mock drafts
and our first one was Pro Football Network. We had Troy Fat, We
had Michael Hall Junior, We had Jermaine Burton and McKinley Jackson. Mock Draft
two was with Pro Football Network. We had Fuaga Frazier, Malachi Corley,
Cooper Bebee. Draft three o Lufashanu, Tovandre Sweat, Jalen McMillan, and
Jalen Wright. Tweet us which one you like the best? I like all
three. I think all three help the Bengals a lot, and I would
be happy with with all three because they get they We at least got one
weapon for Joe, and I do think that they need to add weapons,
especially with the uncertainty with T Higgins and really uncertainty behind Jamar Chase in general.
Yeah, they have some pending free agents. That some interesting spots as
