Welcome to the Bengals’ NFL Draft class of 2024: All ten picks’ grades
There was a sense of urgency about the Cincinnati Bengals going into the 2024 offseason. Joe Burrow’s season ended in Week 11 due to a hand wrist ligament injury, ending Cincinnati’s chances of making it to the postseason. In an effort to rebuild their team and contend for another AFC North championship, the Bengals have taken a number of actions.
In order to add and keep offensive skill and bolster their defense, Cincinnati made a lot of moves in the free agency market. The Bengals re-signed Trenton Irwin, Tanner Hudson, and Drew Sample to new contracts while placing Tee Higgins on the non-exclusive franchise tag. They also signed Mike Gesicki to a one-year contract and added Zack Moss to the team to replace Joe Mixon. Cincinnati needed help at cornerback, tight end, wide receiver, offensive and defensive tackle, and cornerback going into the 2024 NFL Draft. These are our rankings for each selection the Cincinnati Bengals have made.
Mims is a monstrous creature. At 6’8″, he weighs 340 pounds and has 36-inch arms. Mims has a good technique already, but he still has a lot of potential to improve. He is an excellent developmental tackle prospect with the potential to start at either tackle position for the long run. Even though Mims might not play right away in the first season, this choice is a great way to shield Joe Burrow from more harm. Excellent choice.
Lee lacks the physical attributes one would anticipate from an NFL center. It’s likely that his potent pass protection style won the Bengals over. As depth on the interior offensive line, he will fight for a position on the roster.
