Potential Bengals Draft Target Rising Up Boards After NFL Combine

Cincinnati has the 28th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.

CINCINNATI — The Bengals could try to add an offensive tackle in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft, but one obvious fit isn't expected to make it to them at No. 28 overall. 

Tennessee's Darnell Wright is rising up draft boards according to Daniel Jeremiah of NFL Network and could be taken in the first half of the first round. 

"I think Darnell Wright is going to be a top 15 pick," Jeremiah said on the Move the Sticks podcast. "He's massive. He had clean tape against elite competition in the SEC this year. He went to the Senior Bowl and was excellent at the Senior Bowl. He went to the combine and ran darn near 5-flat (5.01) at 333 pounds and had an excellent field workout. There's no more boxes for the guy to check."

Wright would be an easy plug-and-play option at right tackle for the Bengals, but it doesn't sound like he's going to be available when they're on the clock in round one. 

It's worth noting that Wright was one of our standouts that we mentioned boosted their stock at the 2023 NFL Combine. Listen to Jeremiah's comments about the former Volunteers star here.
