2020 NFL Draft: Cincinnati Bengals late-round sleeper targets

Taking a look at some late-round 2020 NFL Draft targets for the Cincinnati Bengals.

The 2020 NFL Draft is roughly three weeks away and we are going to take a look at some late-round players the Cincinnati Bengals should target on day three of the draft. While everyone is talking about the number one pick and the rest of the players that will land in round one, I will take you to a more in-depth approach to the draft.

The Cincinnati Bengals have four picks from rounds four through seven, with one in each round. They hold the 107th overall, 147th overall, 180th overall and 215th overall picks on the third day of the 2020 NFL Draft. The Bengals have to hit on as many of those picks as possible to build depth at many positions throughout their roster.

I believe that the Cincinnati Bengals will take a quarterback, an offensive lineman and a linebacker during the first three rounds of the 2020 NFL Draft. So on day three of the draft, I believe the Bengals look to add depth at edge rusher, wide receiver, interior offensive/ defensive linemen, cornerback and linebacker.

Edge rushers who would fit the Bengals mold on day three are Nick Coe from Auburn or D.J. Wonnum from South Carolina. As for wide receivers I like, Jauan Jennings from Tennessee and James Proche from SMU stand out.

Depth at interior offensive and defensive linemen might be one of the most important positions for the Cincinnati Bengals success in the upcoming season. One guard I like in this draft class is Logan Stenberg from the University of Kentucky. Shifting to the defense, the lineman I like is Benito Jones from Ole Miss.

Lastly, two other players the Bengals could look at on day three of the draft are cornerback A.J. Green from Oklahoma State, not related to Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green, and linebacker Jacob Phillips from LSU.
