The Cincinnati Bengals should consider trading the fifth pick in the 2021 NFL Draft if LSU wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase and Oregon offensive tackle Penei Sewell are off the board. Consensus mock drafts have Chase being selected by the Miami Dolphins with the third pick and Sewell being taken by the Bengals fifth.
There is a very real possibility Chase and Sewell could both be drafted in the top four. There are other options for Cincinnati at five, but they can move back in the draft, add additional picks and still be able to add an elite OT and WR later in the first round or the second round.
