Cincinnati Bengals 2020 NFL Draft: Complete 7-round NFL mock draft
With A.J. Green, Tyler Boyd and John Ross on the roster, wide receiver is not a major need for the Cincinnati Bengals. That being said, Green could be traded at any time, Boyd is not a number one and Ross is not exactly someone who they can consistently count on. The Bengals have bigger needs on the roster than wide receiver, but they could still stand to add at the position if the opportunity presents itself in the 2020 NFL Draft.
In the fourth round of this mock, they find proper value at the position, snagging Eason’s number one target at the University of Washington, wide receiver Aaron Fuller.
Fuller is an extremely quick, crisp and crafty route runner who can consistently separate against man coverage and find space in zone. He can make plays in the short-to-intermediate range but really shines on double moves in the deep passing game. Fuller is a quick and explosive receiver who finds his way open on a consistent basis.
On top of that, he is a solid contested-catch receiver who does a fantastic job of controlling his body in the air. Even when he does not create ideal separation, Fuller can go up and win in 50/50 situations. Last but not least, Fuller has an exciting skill-set with the ball in his hands. He is a dangerous player in space, showing the elusiveness to slip through tackles and the speed to take it to the house from anywhere on the field.
On his own, Fuller is worthy of being the fourth-round selection of the Cincinnati Bengals in the 2020 NFL Draft. Pairing him with his college quarterback in this mock draft is just the cherry on top.
