Bengals News (4/17): Dalton Risner Watch

Are the Bengals potentially adding a guard?

LB Logan Wilson from Wyoming is expected to make an immediate impact for the Bengals
“Best-case scenario. Truthfully. I think this was the best-case scenario,” Taylor said. “As we came into today, if you said that we were going to go get a receiver and a linebacker that we had at the top of our board, we were going to get both of them, I would have thought that you were crazy. I would have thought you probably had to trade back and then trade up. For the way that it happened for us today, just standing firm at 33 and 65, is surprising that it worked out for us.”

Grading a fresh Bengals 3-round mock draft that takes some risks
“The Bengals are now undertaking the route of the Peyton Manning-led Colts. The offense will try to run up the score early, while the defense will pin its ears back just trying to slow down an opponent a little.”

Sports Illustrated Deems Picking Mykel Williams Bengals’ Best-Case 2025 NFL Draft Scenario
“For starters, the Bengals can’t afford to lose Hendrickson, last year’s sack leader with 17.5,” Manzano wrote. “They need to find a way to make it work and get him to report to training camp after messy contract negotiations that go back to last year.

Williams played through a nagging ankle injury and still found a way to make an impact in 2024.”
