Shelvin is my fear too. But the Bengals had a massive hole at NT, and almost no other draft options to fill it. The NT position group was almost non-existent.

CB is the position with the best free agents still available. The Bengals still have cap room to spend if they want.

All 4 picks so far were brought in on Top 30 visits. Definitely not a coincidence.

If you look at this particular college stat, maybe we should have known the Bengals were targeting Burton all along. I bet you the offensive coaches were aware of this.

Whatever else you want to say about the Bengals under this coaching staff, they go deep into the character aspect. As deep as any team in the NFL. This is not the Marvin Lewis era. They absolutely would not be taking Burton if they weren't sure he was a good dude overall.

There were a couple of late ones not mentioned here... DT Evan Anderson, FIU DT Johnny Newton, Illinois DT Justin Rogers, Auburn DT Maason Smith, LSU DT McKinnley Jackson, Texas A&M DT T'Vondre Sweat, Texas ED Chop Robinson, Penn State ED Gabriel Murphy, UCLA ED Xavier Thomas, Clemson OT Amarius Mims, Georgia OT Bayron Matos, South Florida OT Giovanni Manu, British Columbia OT Javon Foster, Missouri OT Taliese Fuaga, Oregon State OT Troy Fautanu, Washington S Daijahn Anthony, Ole Miss TE Erick All, Iowa WR Jalen McMillan, Washington WR Joshua Cephus, UTSA

I wouldn't rule out Jalen McMillan. He was in for a Top 30 visit...like Mims and Jenkins.
