CINCINNATI — The Bengals are one of multiple teams that are bringing in Oregon offensive tackle Josh Conerly Jr. for a pre-draft visit according to James Crepea of The Oregonian.

There are plenty of evaluators that believe Conerly could develop into a quality tackle or guard at the pro level.

He appeared in 41 games for the Ducks over the past three seasons and is projected to be an early second round pick. Conerly is ranked 36th on Jordan Reid's latest big board for ESPN.

"Conerly helped himself tremendously in 2024, ranking 19th in the FBS with a 1.5% pressure rate allowed at tackle and ceding only six pressures," Reid wrote. "He plays with good bend and has B-level range in pass sets, and his initial strike allows him to be the aggressor in pass protection. He's also capable of repositioning his hands against quick rushers, though his hand placement is inconsistent and his play strength needs to be developed. Conerly needs to add bulk to his frame, but he projects as an immediate NFL starter at either tackle spot."

The Bengals don't need a starting tackle with Orlando Brown Jr. and Amarius Mims on the roster, but Conerly could certainly be a legitimate target on draft day if they believe he could be a plug-and-play guard.

The Bengals could always move down in the first round and target Conerly or hope he falls to them in round two at pick No. 49.

The Bengals have six selections in this year's draft, which means a trade up is less likely than previous years.

The Atlanta Falcons, Chicago Bears, Houston Texans, New Orleans Saints, Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders are also bringing in Conerly for a pre-draft visit.
