The Cincinnati Bengals sent the 110th pick and a pair of sixth-rounders (No. 183, No. 198) to the San Francisco 49ers to select quarterback Ryan Finley out of NC State in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft, 104th overall.

The Bengals didn't select a quarterback between rounds 1 and 3, but now Finley becomes their young passer behind Andy Dalton.

Finley will compete with Jeff Driskel to be Dalton's backup in 2019.

Prospect profile

Height: 6-4

Weight: 213 lbs

Strengths

Accurate passer to short and intermediate levels of the field

Maintains accuracy when delivering passes on the run

Goes through progressions and makes good decisions with the ball

Moves well within the pocket and maintains eye level

Lots of starting experience

Weaknesses

Average arm talent with a long release

Accuracy fades when pushing the ball downfield

Tight-window throws will be an issue at the next level

Decision-making falters when under pressure

Bottom line

Finley is a developmental prospect whose accuracy and ability to work through progressions give him a good foundation. His arm talent limits the throws he can make at the NFL level, though, and he struggles when dealing with pressure. His likely projection is as a long-term backup.
