But NFL.com draft analyst Lance Zierlein has the Bengals adding to the offense, not defense, in his first mock draft. The Bengals will take wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan out of Arizona at No. 17 in the first round, according to Zierlein.

The Cincinnati Bengals enter draft season early again for the second consecutive year. The orange and black have plenty of needs on both sides and how they address free agency will dictate their direction in the 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay.
