There are still four rounds left. Four selections were made by the Cincinnati Bengals during the first three rounds of the 2024 NFL Draft. In the first round, they selected offensive tackle Amarius Mims from the University of Georgia in an effort to strengthen the offensive line.
The Bengals addressed the opposing side of the line in the second round by selecting Michigan defensive tackle Kris Jenkins. Cincinnati selected Jermaine Burton, an Alabama wide receiver, and McKinnley Jackson, a Texas A&M defensive tackle, with its two third-round selections.
Cincinnati had a strong start to the draft, and the Bengals have six more picks remaining in the process because they had 10 total picks going into the event.
Which selections are the Bengals making on Day 3?
Rounds four through seven will happen on Saturday, April 27. Between those four rounds, the Bengals will have six total picks: two in the sixth and seventh rounds, one in the fifth round, and one in the fourth. The summary is as follows:
Round 4: No. 115
Round 5: No. 149
Round 6: Nos. 194, 214
Round 7: Nos. 224 (from Cardinals via Texans), 237
What will the Bengals do with those picks?
The Bengals have already addressed a few major areas of need in the first few rounds. They needed a talented wide receiver and they got that in Burton. They added two solid pieces to the D-line in Jenkins and Jackson, and they sured up the O-Line via the addition of Mims.
Maybe they’ll try to add a cornerback to the secondary with their final picks. It wouldn’t be astonishing if they added a linebacker, another receiver, or even another offensive lineman. Thus far, the Bengals appear to have had a fairly successful draft weekend. They now need to end strongly.
