>>McShay Has Bengals Picking Offensive Line Round One

(Cincinnati, OH)  — ESPN is releasing its post-combine mock draft and the Bengals are expected to go offensive line round one.  Todd McShay has Cincinnati selecting Oklahoma’s Anton Harrison with the 29th pick overall.  McShay says, “The Bengals gave up 44 sacks in 2022, which tied for 20th in the NFL.  Harrison is tough to shake once he’s locked on in pass protection, and he allowed just two sacks over 34 games at Oklahoma.”  The draft is set for April 27th.

>>McShay Has Titans Picking Tackle Round One

(Nashville, TN)  — ESPN is releasing its post-combine mock draft and the Titans are expected to go offensive line in the first round.  Todd McShay has Tennessee selecting Ohio State Tackle Paris Johnson Jr. with the 11th overall pick.  McShay says, “After allowing 49 sacks last season, Tennessee should focus on building out from the offensive line and trying to get an offense that was underwhelming in 2022 back on track.”  He notes the Taylor Lewan departure paves the way for Johnson to start alongside his former Ohio State teammate Nicholas Petit-Frere.  The draft begins on April 27th.
