Tarvarus McFadden

Defensive Back, Florida State

The Cincinnati Bengals had the week off in Week 6, and will now head back into action to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers this weekend.  They got off to a horrible start on the offensive side of the ball, but have rebounded to win their last two games. The Bengals have so much talent on this roster, but if they fail to make the playoffs, it may mean the end for veteran head coach Marvin Lewis.

With their first pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, the Bengals should look to bring in some reinforcements in the secondary. Adam Jones is definitely getting up there in age, so it would be smart if the team brought in a new player to be their top cornerback going forward. Tarvarus McFadden would be the best cornerback in this draft if it was not for Minkah Fitzpatrick, but he is one heck of a consolation prize.

McFadden may be the most versatile defensive back in this draft class, as he does have the ability to play cornerback or even safety. He is also is very good as a return man, and has the kind of hands you can only dream about for a defensive back. He is certain to be a top-10 selection in this draft class, and if the Bengals are picking in this spot, he would be a perfect fit for their scheme on defense.
