2018 NFL Mock Draft: Cleveland Browns select Josh Rosen No. 1
By Brad Weiss
Orlando Brown
Offensive Tackle, Oklahoma
The Cincinnati Bengals had one of their more impressive victories of the year on Sunday, as they traveled west to Denver and beat the Broncos in front of their home crowd. For Cincinnati, it has been a very disappointing season, and at the end of it, they may be saying goodbye to long-time head coach Marvin Lewis. Lewis has been the consummate professional during his time with the Bengals, but he just has not gotten the job done.
On offense, the Bengals have some talented pieces, including A.J. Green, John Ross, and Joe Mixon. However, they do need help up front on offense, and bringing in a guy like Orlando Brown from Oklahoma would be a nice pick this early in round one. Brown is a heck of a run defender, and has the size, and feet to stay on the left side at the next level.
Cincinnati has a lot of work to do in order to become relevant in the AFC North again, but they do have some good pieces to work with. If they do decide to let go of Lewis, they will likely blow this thing up, as they have looked like the second-worst team in the division this season. The Browns are always going to be in the cellar in the North, but these Bengals need to turn it around before the Browns eventually pass them.
