The Cincinnati Bengals selected 11 players in the 2017 NFL draft and finished with nine after two (Jake Elliott and J.J. Dielman) were signed off the practice squad. Tight end Mason Schreck spent the year on injured reserve, and Brandon Wilson and John Ross played sparingly. While Joe Mixon, Jordan Willis, Carl Lawson, Josh Malone, Ryan Glasgow and Jordan Evans all saw significant snaps, Lawson was clearly the star of the show.
