Draft season is upon us meaning mocks drafts will be all the rage for the next few months.

So of course, I am going to dip my toes into the water. This will be a full mock for the Cincinnati Bengals, using Fanspeak and the big board from Bleacher Report’s Matt Miller (no option, at least as of yet, for Draft Wire, for the record).

With that, let’s get into it.

No. 12 overall: Minkah Fitzpatrick, S, Alabama

While safety may not be a pressing need for the Bengals, Fitzpatrick is quite a versatile talent and could be seen as a top-10 player that the way this mock fell out, it was good value to take a player like him at No. 12. He can play across the secondary and play nickel alongside Dre Kirkpatrick and William Jackson.
