Over the past several days, the Cincinnati Bengals\u00a0maximized their haul during the 2024 NFL Draft.\u00a0 They certainly performed during the first two rounds of the draft when they brought in University of Georgia offensive tackle\u00a0Amarius Mims\u00a0and in the second round when they brought in defensive tackle\u00a0Kris Jenkins Jr.\u00a0 Unfortunately, there is a lot of debate over how well they performed in the next five rounds.<\/p>\n

NFL Draft Specialist Not Impressed by Cincinnati Bengals\u2019 Draft Class<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

While the organization performed fairly well in the first two rounds by knocking two positional needs off their board by players that were close to the best in this year\u2019s class, there is some major skepticism about the rest of the draft.\u00a0 Specifically, ESPN draft specialist\u00a0Mel Kiper Jr.\u00a0certainly wasn\u2019t particularly impressed with the way that the franchise was appraising talent.\u00a0 That was apparent when it came to his appraisals of defensive tackle\u00a0McKinnley Jackson\u00a0and wide receiver\u00a0Jermaine Burton.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

While both players appear capable of filling positional needs, there are major questions about whether or not they can make a smooth transition to the difficulty at the NFL level.\u00a0 Burton failed to post a 1,000-yard season over the course of his NFL career, and he was the number one receiver on one of the best teams in the country last season at the University of Alabama.\u00a0 While a third-round selection isn\u2019t a guaranteed starter, you certainly want at least an immediate backup-level player out of that pick.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Given the organization\u2019s obvious draft theme of filling holes that will be generated next season after the departure of their many free-agent signings to one-year contracts, Burton appears to fill that need. Since the organization provided insurance last season for the departure of\u00a0Tee Higgins\u00a0and\u00a0Tyler Boyd\u00a0by drafting\u00a0Charlie Jones\u00a0and\u00a0Andrei Iosivas, Burton likely fills that mold for superstar wide receiver\u00a0Ja\u2019Marr Chase.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Since Burton fills a similar role as Chase with his deep threat ability and pure speed, he was drafted to provide insurance for Chase.\u00a0 Chase recently had his contract extended to 2025 but given the price trend that wide receiver contracts have gone, Cincinnati needs an alternative if Chase demands an impossible sum during his upcoming contract negotiations.\u00a0 While this team likely won\u2019t be moving on from Chase, they needed a similar type of player to keep continuity and provide bargaining leverage during negotiations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
