Bengals get help for Trey Hendrickson in Daniel Jeremiah's latest mock draft

[ASFN Admin]

Whether or not the Cincinnati Bengals keep Trey Hendrickson, they will need extra help getting to the quarterback. That help grows exponentially if they do trade Hendrickson, but even if they keep him, there's not much depth behind him. The team did re-sign Joseph Ossai, which will help, but more bodies are very much needed.

A very good body at the position comes to the Bengals in the latest mock draft from NFL.com's Daniel Jeremiah, as he sends Marshall's Mike Green to Cincinnati with the 17th pick.

"Green would be an outstanding complement to Trey Hendrickson if the Bengals are able to work things out with their star defensive end," Jeremiah wrote.

Green would very much be an outstanding complement to Hendrickson and brings the production with him. Green led the nation with 17 sacks last season. He'll bring plenty of speed, at least straight-line speed. Green reportedly ran a 4.57 40-yard dash -- he did not test at the Scouting Combine, other than recording 28 reps on the bench press.

Green would be an instant boost to the Bengals' pass rush and help make the transition easier for new defensive coordinator Al Golden. It would be even easier if the Bengals can keep their star defensive end in Hendrickson.
