Cincinnati Bengals 7-round 2020 NFL mock draft: Chase Young goes No. 1
While Josh Jones is an extremely raw and underdeveloped offensive tackle prospect, there is plenty to like about his potential at the next level. Most notably, Jones has ideal length and athleticism for the offensive tackle position. He moves his feet extremely well and has the skill-set to be a strong pass protector at the next level. Jones is not ready to compete at the NFL level right now, but if he can clean up his technique and hand usage, he has a chance to shine.
After hammering the offensive side of the ball for a handful of picks, we get the Cincinnati Bengals some more help on the defensive side of the ball here late. Patrick Queen is an extremely quick and athletic linebacker prospect who fits the modern NFL extremely well. He does a great job of defending the run from sideline-to-sideline and is a reliable tackler in space.
The Bengals need to find some athleticism at the linebacker position. While Queen does lack ideal length and physicality for the position, his actual skill-set fills a major need for the team.
With their seventh and final pick of this mock draft, the Cincinnati Bengals bring in Clemson safety Tanner Muse. Muse is a big and strong safety prospect who excels at coming down and supporting the run. He does a great job of working through traffic and is a solid and reliable tackler in space.
Muse is a smart and disciplined defender who does a nice job of getting to where he is supposed to be in coverage. His overall speed and athleticism are solid, but unspectacular, probably limiting his upside in the secondary. That being said, Muse is a tough player who is a fair bet to be a solid special teams contributor at the next level. I also wonder if he could make a transition and play some off-ball linebacker.
