NFL Mock Draft 2016: Tennessee throws a curve ball

player. 56. <p>The Bengals were decimated in free agency by the departure of Mohamed Sanu and Marvin Jones. Both players were seen as secondary options to A.J. Green (or even Tyler Eifert) in Cincinnati, but each wide receiver signed a highly lucrative deal elsewhere, leaving Andy Dalton with a limited number of passing targets to take advantage of for the 2016 season.</p> <p>With a four-player tier at wide receiver in this class (headlined by Laquon Treadwell as the clear number one), the Bengals end up in a position to land one of those athletes in Josh Doctson. Unlike Corey Coleman and Will Fuller before him, there is no question about Doctson’s size, and he is an explosive athlete with a vertical jump of more than 40 inches. That allows him to be a terror to the opposition in the downfield passing game, and with A.J. Green on the other side, defenses would not be able to focus extra attention on Doctson in Cincy.</p> <p>You would be hard pressed to find a mock draft that projects the Bengals to do anything other than taking a wide receiver. While it often isn’t that easy, Cincinnati has a roster that is so strong in other areas and this weakness is so glaring that it really would be a surprise if the front office went elsewhere.</p>. WR. TCU. Josh Doctson. 24
