Here's Who the Bengals Grab in Latest 2025 NFL Mock Draft

Bengals Draft Finally Fills Roster Hole

The Cincinnati Bengals have been struggling for years to fill a hole on their roster, and it looks like they may finally have found their answer in the 2025 NFL Draft.

According to draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah, the Bengals will select Texas A&M cornerback Jaylon Jones with the No. 11 overall pick in the draft.

Why Jaylon Jones?

Jones is a 6'2", 200-pound cornerback who is considered to be one of the best players at his position in the country.

He is a physical and athletic player who has the size and strength to match up with bigger receivers, and the speed and agility to keep up with faster ones.

Jones' Stats and Accolades

• Recorded 60 tackles, 10 interceptions, and 2 forced fumbles in 2022
• Named to the All-SEC First Team in 2022
• Consensus All-American in 2022

Bengals' Need at Cornerback

The Bengals have been looking for a cornerback to replace Chidobe Awuzie, who left in free agency last offseason.

The Bengals signed Eli Apple to a one-year deal last year, but he is not considered to be a long-term solution at the position.

Jones would be a significant upgrade over Apple, and he would give the Bengals a young, talented cornerback to build around for the future.

Conclusion

The Bengals have a lot of holes to fill on their roster, but the cornerback position is one of the most important ones.

If they can land Jones in the draft, it would be a major step towards building a contender in the AFC.
