The Cincinnati Bengals hold a handful of picks entering Day 3 of the 2025 NFL draft.
Luckily for them, they knocked out some major needs over the first two days of the draft. They added Texas A&M DE Shemar Stewart at No. 17 overall, then followed up with linebacker Demetrius Knight Jr. in the second round and guard Dylan Fairchild in the third round.
On Day 3, the Bengals project to attack other needs such as pass-rushers and in the secondary, though a skill position like tight end or running back wouldn't be a shock, either.
Here's a brief mock draft outlining what the Bengals could do, using PFN's mock draft machine.
It's a matter of time before they add to the secondary. Here, they get a lanky LSU cornerback who upgrades the depth and provides some insurance on the chance somebody like DJ Turner or Dax Hill doesn't pan out.
A rangy safety prospect who can fill multiple roles in the secondary feels like a smart move for the Bengals. They need depth with upside behind Jordan Battle and Geno Stone, plus subpackage work now that Mike Hilton is gone.
Big program? More than 3,000 snaps? Good pass-blocking grade? Good 6'7", 314-pound frame? Experience at guard and tackle? It's like Nelson was built in a lab to join the Bengals.

Round 4, No. 119: Zy Alexander, CB, LSU

Round 5, No. 153: Malachi Moore, S, Alabama
A rangy safety prospect who can fill multiple roles in the secondary feels like a smart move for the Bengals. They need depth with upside behind Jordan Battle and Geno Stone, plus subpackage work now that Mike Hilton is gone.
