OT JAKE FISHER

OREGON

Fisher is a versatile OL that has played multiple positions in his career. The Bengals value versatility and toughness. There may be a few concerns about Fisher’s health long term, but he’s got too many of the traits that Paul Alexander values in his OL to pass up here.

ILB PAUL DAWSON

TCU

The Bengals LB core could be at a crossroads after this upcoming season. We all know about the concern surrounding Vontaze Burfict and his knee. Rey Maualuga was locked up but could essentially be cut after next season with little to no penalty and Emmanuel Lamur is on his 1 year "prove it" deal that he just signed as a RFA. AJ Hawk isn’t a long term answer, he’s depth and leadership. Paul Dawson has a lot of the same traits that Burfict did coming out. People have questioned his "character" because of likeability and he also isn’t the best of athletes (how much do we really value the combine?). Watch some tape on the guy and you’ll see what he’s all about and it’s a lot like Burfict. Attitude, toughness and a knack for making big plays will be what you see.

CB ALEX CARTER

STANFORD

NFL pedigree, father was an NFL CB. Good size and willingness to play physical. Some people think he struggles in man coverage and would be a good safety. Either way, he’s depth.

99: R3P35

DT GRADY JARRETT

CLEMSON

Started at NT for 3 years for Clemson. Has a wrestling background which could help him with power and leverage in the trenches. He’s similar in size to Geno Atkins, but should play NT in the NFL. Heir apparent to Domata Peko?

WR TYLER LOCKETT

KANSAS STATE

NFL pedigree, father Kevin played for KC Chiefs. Big time competitior, returnability, quickness and suddenness are things you often hear when people talk about Tyler Lockett. He won’t beat anyone with size and some have concerns about past injuries, but he’s got a speed and quickness to him that reminds some of Antonio Brown (Who Lockett himself said he models his game after) If he’s there this late, run to the podium.

CB ERIC ROWE

UTAH

Another CB who projects as a potential S at the next level. Has experience at both positions, although more so at S. Much like Lockett, if he’s there in this spot you run to the podium.

TE NICK O'LEARY

FSU

A willing blocker often referred to as a throwback type of TE. Team player that is a 2 way tight end with excellent hands and works for YAC. Can lineup as an H-back much in the same way Ryan Hewitt can. Mackey Award winner 2014.

S IBRAHEIM CAMPBELL

NORTHWESTERN

Special teams player who is a willing tackler and has adequate cover skills to come off the bench and play. Scouts praise his leadership qualities.

DE RAY DREW

GEORGIA

Scheme diverse. Played in both a 4-3 as a DE/DT and a 3-4 as a DE. Was "hyped" coming to UGA, but never quite lived up to his billing. Often referred to as a "poor man’s Michael Bennett".
