CINCINNATI — Field Yates released his second mock draft this cycle for ESPN and has the Bengals taking another LSU wide receiver in round one. 

The Bengals drafted Brian Thomas Jr. this time around. He is the consensus fourth-best wide receiver and 17th-best player overall.

"Franchise-tagged receiver Tee Higgins still desires to be traded, and though a deal is not a certainty, it's a reminder that the Bengals have to examine the receiver spot in the draft," Yates wrote. "Higgins could choose to play out the season and test free agency in 2025 (a double tag is expensive), and the wideout room could become historically expensive if Higgins is extended with Ja'Marr Chase now also extension eligible. Thomas has the best second gear of any wideout in the class, as his effortless ability to separate down the field helped him lead the FBS with 17 receiving touchdowns in 2023."

Next, Cincinnati went with Washington offensive tackle Roger Rosengarten.

"It was tempting to take a right tackle in the first round for Cincinnati, as Trent Brown only signed for one year, but the Bengals can still land talent at the position on Day 2," Yates wrote. "The steady Rosengarten served as Washington's right tackle, allowing zero sacks over 28 career starts."

Rosengarten is the consensus 133rd-ranked player and the 15th-best offensive tackle.
