CINCINNATI — ESPN's Matt Miller unveiled his full seven-round mock draft this week and had some interesting picks for the Bengals. Things started with the Bengals taking Alabama cornerback Terrion Arnold at Pick 18.

Arnold is the second-best cornerback on the consensus big board and the 12th-best prospect overall.

"After signing right tackle Trent Brown in free agency, the Bengals are cleared to address the defense in Round 1," Miller wrote. "Teaming Arnold up with DJ Turner, Cam Taylor-Britt and Mike Hilton gives Cincinnati's secondary a chance to compete with any team in the AFC. Arnold was a five-star safety prospect but made the move to cornerback, where he started for two seasons and collected six interceptions and 21 pass breakups. He also ran a 4.5-second 40-yard dash at 6-foot and 189 pounds, and he is feisty and physical at the line of scrimmage. In short, he has the skill set of a true CB1 and future Pro Bowler."

Next, he had Cincinnati taking Florida wide receiver Ricky Pearsall at Pick 49.

The consensus big board has Pearsall ranked 54th overall.

"To run the Bengals' three-WR offense, you need three starting wide receivers," Miller wrote. "That's not the case right now, with Tee Higgins hanging out there on the franchise tag and Tyler Boyd still a free agent. Pearsall would give Cincinnati at least one more option opposite Ja'Marr Chase. He's fast and has some of the best end-zone footwork and ball-tracking in the class."

In the third round, Cincinnati picked Tennessee running back Jaylen Wright at Pick 80.

The consensus big board has him ranked 87th overall and fifth among running backs.

"Joe Mixon is off to Houston, replaced with Zack Moss and Chase Brown in Cincinnati," Miller wrote. "But Wright has the electric speed and outside running ability to push them both down the depth chart and be a rookie starter."

Moving to the 97th pick at the end of Round 3, Cincinnati took Notre Dame offensive tackle Blake Fisher. He is the consensus 12th-best offensive tackle and 86th-best player on the big board.

"Even after signing Trent Brown, the Bengals have to think long-term about the offensive line," Miller wrote. "Fisher's footwork can get a little heavy, but his punch and power help him project as a potential starting right tackle."

The rest of the picks are below:

Round 4, Pick 115: McKinnley Jackson, DT, Texas A&M

Round 5, Pick 149: Jacob Cowing, WR, Arizona

Round 6, Pick 194: Dallin Holker, TE, Colorado State

Round 6, Pick 214: Layden Robinson, G, Texas A&M

Round 7, Pick 224: Xavier Thomas, DE, Clemson

Round 7, Pick 237: Daijahn Anthony, S, Ole Miss
