The Cincinnati Bengals could bolster their offensive line a bit with some of their top NFL draft capital...
The Cincinnati Bengals came into the offseason with holes all over their roster and a front office that was seemingly "all-in" to win going forward. But they haven't added as much as the fans would have liked to see.
added safety Bryan Cook to bolster the backend of their defense. Cook, a product of Cincinnati, is a huge addition to the defense. They also signed Boye Mafe and Jonathan Allen to add some pass rush threat and run stuffing to their front seven.Feb 24, 2026; Indianapolis, IN, USA; Cincinnati Bengals general manager Duke Tobin speaks at the NFL Scouting Combine at the Indiana Convention Center.

While their unit was productive last year, it would be a stretch to call it a solid line.should be eyeing one impact interior offensive lineman in the coming months. While it seems unlikely that they can land a solid player in free agency at this point, the NFL draft might be their best option.Oregon offensive lineman Emmanuel Pregnon at his pro day.

"Besides the Cowboys and Vikings, he also met with the Cincinnati Bengals on pro day and is getting a lot of attention from the Houston Texans and Seattle Seahawks, teams that both need interior offensive linemen." The Bengals may not entertain the idea of adding an offensive lineman in the first round of the NFL draft. The No. 10 pick should be used on defense, whether it's Caleb Downs, Rueben Bain Jr., Sonny Styles, Mansoor Delane, or any other talented defender. But if Pregnon is available when the Bengals are on the clock in the second round, it would be hard to pass up on him. Some mock drafts have suggested he could go as high as pick No. 25. This seems a bit unlikely, but it shows his talent. He's an excellent run blocker and a very capable pass blocker. If the Bengals can land him, it likely wouldn't take more than a year before he's an impact starter up front on Cincinnati's offense.ZACH PRESSNELL Zach Pressnell has experience covering all major US sports at both the professional and collegiate levels.
