Dax Hill - DB, University of Michigan
"Safety might not be the biggest need for the Bengals' secondary, he's really a hybrid who can match up in the nickel in coverage."
Grade: A
"Love this fit. Hill can cover the slot and even be tried outside if the Bengals want."
Grade: A-
"The first-team All-Big Ten performer is capable of playing in the box, near the line of scrimmage and even as the deep safety. He has the long speed to cover a lot of ground from sideline to sideline. This varied skill set can turn him into a defensive weapon."
Grade: B
"Hill produced a top-10 coverage slot coverage grade among Power Five defensive backs from 2020 to 2021."
Grade: Good
Cam Taylor-Britt - DB, Nebraska
"Sleeper at the CB spot. Bouncy, explosive, speedy. Recovery skill is outstanding. Seemingly always finds the football... Taylor-Britt is a damn good player."
Grade: B+
"...his physical traits (size, length, athleticism), competitive nature, and ball skills give him NFL starting potential in press-man or zone-heavy schemes."
Sheil Kapadia's Grade: B+
"He's a typical Bengals pick who has proven leadership as a captain and huge production, including five interceptions and 22 passes defended over the course of his college career."
Grade: B
"Taylor-Britt was a three-year starter at both corner and safety who is solid in run support. He's an outstanding athlete (4.38 40-yard dash at the combine) who's disruptive at the catch point. He finished his college career with six interceptions"
Grade: B
Zach Carter - DT, Florida
"He has heavy hands and is one of the best at generating power at the point of attack. Alongside D.J. Reader, he can be a productive player."
Grade: B+
Cordell Volson - DL, NDSU
"He is a very tough offensive lineman that fits into offensive line coach Frank Turner's "glass eater" profile. He plays mean and loves finishing blocks."
Dycen Anderson - DB, Toledo
"Anderson is a toolsy prospect with the range and toughness to impact the game from various alignments on the field."
Jeff Gunter - DL, Coastal Carolina
"Gunter bursts off the snap and flashes disruptive traits thanks to his closing speed and football radar."
