My Predictive 2025 Mock Draft

[Okeana]

This is my predictive mock draft based on historic trends the Bengals have shown.

1st round Mykel Williams - Edge - Georgia

Based on age, recruitment grade, big school program, championship-winning team, and athletic measurables. I'm not a fan of the pick, but i can see the upside and you're banking on him starating as a rotational player who takes over for Trey in a couple of years.

2nd round TreVeyon Henderson - Running Back - Ohio State

They have shown a lot of interest in this class, big school program, championship winning team. He is an ELITE pass blocking running back. I think there will be a run on guards and tackles in the early 2nd and they will see the value for a 2nd round player.

3rd round TJ Sanders - DT - South Carolina

Good athletic upside, they tend to draft defensive tackles in the 3rd - 4th round historically, had a visit with the team. Reports are he was extreme immature when he entered the program then developed and matured into a leader during his time in college.

4th round Jalen Rivers - OG / OT - Miami

High character guy with strong athletic profile and measurables. had a 30 visit with the team. The goal is to put him at LG and hope he develops into the future left tackle. Solid Starter

This is simply a symptom of the 2nd round run on offensive lineman before the bengals pick, so their forced into a 4th round guard, which is nothing new for them

5th round Jack Kiser - LB - Notre Dame

Al Golden coached him, he's a slightly better version of Joe Bachie and we all know how much Al Golden loved Joe Bachie. Key special teams player and competes for the starting middle linebacker

6th round Zah Frazier - CB - UTSA

Bump and run corner, high upside with great athletic profile. If he develops, could be the steal of the draft
