Bengals Select JC Latham, Theo Johnson in ESPN's Latest Two-Round Mock Draft
CINCINNATI — ESPN's Jordan Reid released a two-round 2024 mock draft this week and has the Bengals taking Alabama offensive tackle JC Latham at Pick 18 and Penn State tight end Theo Johnson at Pick 49.
Latham is the consensus 19th-best player in the draft and the fourth-best offensive tackle.
"Joe Burrow is set to return next season from a right wrist injury, but with tackle Jonah Williams hitting the free agent market, the Bengals could be left with a hole on the right side of an offensive line that has to keep the QB upright in 2024," Reid wrote. "They are known to value offensive tackles who can set the depth of the pocket -- as evidenced by the signing of Orlando Brown Jr. -- and Latham fits that criteria. At 6-6 and 342 pounds, he has good size and quickness, and he's a really good run blocker."
Johnson is the consensus 122nd-ranked player and fourth-best tight end.
"I was waiting for Johnson to rise during the pre-draft process, and now after his combine performance, he could be taken in the top 50," Reid wrote. "Every tight end on the Bengals' roster is a free agent, and Johnson -- who caught seven TDs in 2023 -- would give Burrow one more talented target as he returns from injury."
