CINCINNATI — The Bengals got a steal in the latest Pro Football Focus mock draft. Georgia tight end Brock Bowers fell to Cincinnati at Pick 18.

It may come as a shock to see Bowers fall this far on draft night, but last year’s highly touted tight end class didn’t see a player come off the board until the Buffalo Bills traded up to the No. 25 overall pick to select Dalton Kincaid," Brad Spielberger wrote. "Unlike last year, however, the tight end depth is not nearly as strong, which could push Bowers up the board since teams may view him as the one true high-level prospect at the position in the class. Bowers has a case as the best tight end in college football history, but he may bring some size concerns in his transition to the NFL game. Cincinnati hasn’t had a top tight end since Tyler Eifert, and adding another pass catcher also makes sense following wideout Tee Higgins‘ trade request this offseason."

Bowers is the consensus best tight end in the draft and the ninth-best player on the consensus big board.
