CINCINNATI — The Bengals went with an SEC wide receiver to replace Tee Higgins in ESPN's latest 2025 mock draft. Matt Miller has Cincinnati taking Texas WR Isaiah Bond with the 25th pick.

"Tee Higgins may have signed his franchise-tag tender, but that doesn't mean the Bengals have a long-term resolution yet for the talented WR2," Miller wrote. "The Bengals drafted Jermaine Burton to replace Tyler Boyd but could still have receiver high on the list of needs during the next draft. Bond, a transfer from Alabama, will fill the Xavier Worthy role in the Texas offense with his elite downfield speed. He averaged 13.9 yards per catch with four touchdowns last season, even as the Alabama offense struggled to find consistency in the pass game. And in Steve Sarkisian's system, Bond has huge potential."

Picking 25th would be a massive disappointment in the final season before Joe Burrow's salary cap hit goes above $30 million for the rest of his current contract.
