Round 4, 134th Overall: Matt Waletzko, OT, North Dakota State

The Cincinnati Bengals also have to address the right tackle spot opposite Jonah Williams this offseason. Cincy could still opt to bring back Reiff, or could be in the market for Terron Armstead. Either way, finding depth (or a starter) is crucial for this team.

Matt Waletzko is a perfect option on day three, and he might see his stock rise into late day two by the end of the 2022 NFL Draft process. Waletzko has very good footwork, and his pass sets look comfortable and quick. Has has impressive power to boot, and snatched and finished quite a few rushers in his time at the Senior Bowl.

Round 5, 173rd Overall: Jelani Woods, TE, Virginia

C.J. Uzomah sitting as a free agent makes the tight end position more interesting heading into 2022, and in a deep class, why not find another threat in the passing game to make your offense that much more dynamic?

Jelani Woods is a super intriguing prospect, listed at a whopping 6’7″ and 265 pounds. His catch radius is massive, he’s a pretty fluid mover for his size, and he’s not afraid to drop the pads at contact post-catch. Woods makes several tacklers miss every game, and he’d add plenty as a receiver to the Cincinnati Bengals, even in his rookie season.
