CINCINNATI — The Bengals landed arguably the best defensive lineman available from the 2025 Draft in ESPN's latest projection. Jordan Reid has Cincinnati taking Michigan's Mason Graham with the eighth pick this coming April.

"Graham could help Cincinnati as both a stout run defender in the middle and a disruptive interior pass rusher," Reid wrote. "He is my No. 2 overall prospect, and there's a shot he could be drafted even higher than this spot. And with B.J. Hill in the last year of his deal, Graham could team up with Sheldon Rankins and rookie Kris Jenkins Jr. (his Michigan teammate in 2023) on the Bengals' interior. He has 14 pressures when lined up inside, tied for the third most in the country."

The Bengals (and its fans) hope they play themselves well out of range to draft Graham in the final 11 games of the 2024 season.
