Another day, another mock draft.
This time, Lance Zierlein of NFL.com posted his first mock draft, and it goes against the grain in terms of other projections we’ve seen across the internet.
It does feature a familiar name in Florida tackle Jawaan Taylor, who lands in Cincinnati at pick No. 11.
However, the real news is the names Cincinnati would have passed on in this projection to take Taylor, who isn’t widely viewed as the top offensive linemen in this draft, yet he’s the first one to go off the board.
And the names that were still on the board would make some wonder how the Bengals could pass on them in favor of Taylor, which include:
- Georgia CB DeAndre Baker
Unless there’s something up with guys like White, Oliver and Williams, I’m not taking Taylor over them.
