Ten Biggest Winners of the 2015 NFL Draft
3) Cincinnati Bengals
- 1 (21) Cedric Ogbuehi, Texas A&M OT
- 2 (53) Jake Fisher, Oregon OT
- 3 (85) Tyler Kroft, Rutgers TE
- 3 (99) Paul Dawson, TCU ILB
- 4 (120) Josh Shaw, USC CB
- 5 (157) C.J. Uzomah, Auburn TE
- 6 (197) Derron Smith, Fresno State FS
- 7 (238) Mario Alford, West Virgina WR
Cedric Ogbuehi and Jake Fisher both have through-the-roof potential. If they both pan out, and I think they will, that alone would make this one of the best draft classes of 2015. Andrew Whitworth is 33 and both of these guys have franchise LT potential. The other will likely kick inside to guard. The Bengals already have one of the better O-lines in the league, and Ogbuehi and Fisher will keep them at the top for a long time.
But as much as I like both of those guys, my favorite pick in this group is Tyler Kroft. I think he is the best TE , and the second most underrated player in the entire draft. And Paul Dawson in the third round is grand larceny, and adds another freak athlete to their already explosive group. Shaw, Smith and Alford are also great value picks with a lot of potential.
This is an unbelievable haul for Cincinnati. I think they got five future starters and two future Pro Bowlers.
