29. Cincinnati Bengals

The Bengals already have an explosive offense. Almost any team in the NFL would kill to have Jeremy Hill and Giovani Bernard in its backfield, with Tyler Eifert, A.J. Green, Mohamed Sanu and Marvin Jones to throw to. Still, if Coleman is on the board when Cincinnati goes on the clock, there is a good chance he’s headed to the Queen City. The Bengals are desperately trying to get over the hump in the postseason, and perhaps another weapon for quarterback Andy Dalton can’t hurt the chances of seeing another Super Bowl at some point this century.

The Bengals have had success in recent years when they draft and develop their own receivers. Both Jones and Green are good examples of that, as are T.J. Houshmanzadeh and Chad Johnson. Cincinnati could also go for a defensive player at this spot, but with the way the board falls here, Coleman is simply too talented and too explosive to pass up. If the Bengals could pair Coleman and Green on the outside with Eifert and Jones in the slot, they would arguably have the most potent offense in the league. Cincinnati is the most develop-oriented team in the league, outside of the Green Bay Packers.
