Breaking down stunning haul for Bengals in new Mel Kiper Jr. mock draft

The Cincinnati Bengals make out in A+ fashion in a new mock draft from ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. and Field Yates.

It’s a tandem, three-round mock draft that features the Bengals seemingly getting a massive steal in the second round, where a prospect once mocked in the opening round falls all the way down the board.

Given the expertise at the pen in this alternating mock draft, it’s hard to scoff at the projections for both Day 1 and Day 2. It is, after all, explained as a mock that makes picks based on what they think teams will do and what the experts themselves would do for each team.

Here’s a look at the three-round results for the Bengals with breakdowns for each pick.
