CINCINNATI (AP) — The Cincinnati Bengals used the NFL draft to take some of the pieces they believe were most needed to address weaknesses.
The Bengals want to keep oft-sacked franchise quarterback Joe Burrow off the turf. Toward that end, they took huge Georgia offensive tackle Amarius Mims (first round, 18th overall).
To add depth to the interior of the defensive line, they got defensive tackles Kris Jenkins from Michigan (second round, 49th overall) and McKinnley Jackson from Texas A&M (third round, 97th overall).
With some uncertainly in its receiver ranks, Cincinnati added Alabama’s Jermaine Burton (round 3, 80th overall).
First-round pick Mims — 6-foot-8, 340 pounds — may be a long-term solution at right tackle who can help keep Burrow’s uniform clean.
The Bengals lost tackle Jonah Williams to Arizona in free agency. They have Orlando Brown Jr. on the left side and signed 10-year veteran Trent Brown to a one-year contract to play on the right side for 2024.
