Cincinnati Bengals full 2020 NFL mock draft
By Conor Dorney
5th round
The 2020 tight end class of as a whole is one of the weaker in recent years but that doesn’t mean there isn’t talent to be found. In-state product Josiah Deguara is a great target for the Bengals on Day 3 as they continue to build their offense around Joe Burrow.
Deguara offers tons of upside as an in-line tight end and shows high effort as a blocker in the run game. He’s a pretty good athlete and possesses strong hands that are capable of making tough catches over the middle of the field.
With the status of Tyler Eifert still up in the air, Cincinnati could wait until Day 3 to address tight end depth and Deguara would be a great addition.
6th round
As was said before, this is a wide receiver class for the ages. After the first round, the Bengals could take a wideout with any of their remaining picks and get a pretty good player. In this scenario, they opt to wait until Day 3 to snatch up another former UCF Golden Knight in Gabriel Davis.
Davis is a big target (6-foot-2, 216 pounds) who excels at using his frame and downfield ball tracking ability to make big plays. He was a feature of the UCF offense since his true freshman season and would be an excellent target to add on the outside for Zac Taylor’s offense.
He’s one of the more under-the-radar prospects of this deep class but getting him on Day 3 would be an absolute steal for Cincy.
7th round
The Bengals wrap up their 2020 class with another in-state product, running back Michael Warren II.
Warren II is a bowling ball of a running back, excelling at creating yards after contact on interior runs. He has been an absolute workhorse the last two seasons for the Bearcats, racking up over 500 carries and a whopping 33 touchdowns on the ground.
Warren II should excel on short-yardage and goal line situations in the NFL and preserve some tread on the tires of Joe Mixon moving forward.
