The Bengals are slowly but surely ticking off their needs. The fourth round starts tomorrow and once again, the Bengals are leading off. Here's a few options for different directions they could go.
Disclaimer, this is a little deeper than I was able to get to at some positions so some of these guys I'm going off more things I've heard and read rather than guys I've actually watched.
Best Options at the Top of Round 4:
My preference for Cincy in the fourth round is to lean O-Line, but some of the defenders are intriguing.
1. Ben Bartch, OT St. John
2. Jack Driscoll, OT Auburn
3. Ben Bredeson, G Michigan
4. Donovan Peoples-Jones, WR Michigan
5. Bryce Hall, CB Virginia
6. Curtis Weaver, DE Boise state
I like the idea of Bartch and even Charles as a developmental LT.
Driscoll would make for decent RT depth to try to push Bobby Hart.
Any of the guards would be fine I think, but Bredeson is the one I liked the most of the guys left that I watched.
Biadasz is a center that I didn't really like, but I've heard he looked like a borderline first rounder in 2018 and struggled with injuries in 2019.
They don't need another WR necessarily, but Peoples-Jones is one of the few guys left with the physical traits to turn into something special. He's 6'2" with a 44" vertical. Surely somebody can unlock some of his potential. It's not like he's a total raw project either. He flashed for sure, but Michigan's offense was so scatter-brained, it's hard to tell if he's a guy that's just never going to click of if he's a steal of a pick waiting to happen.
Weaver was a solid productive player at Boise State. He's not a bendy player, but he'll get the job done.
Hall is coming off an serious ankle injury, but once he gets back up to speed he could develop into a starter.
