Cincinnati Takes Illinois Defensive Tackle in Latest Major Mock Draft

In the first round, the Bengals have the eighteenth pick.

CINCINNATI: According to PFF’s most recent 2024 NFL Mock Draft, the Bengals will select defensive tackle Johnny Newton from Illinois at pick 18.

Newton is the second-best defensive lineman and, by agreement, the 26th best player overall.

“Defensive tackle is arguably the Bengals’ biggest need after losing D.J. Reader in free agency,” Chadwick stated. “Newton was incredibly productive over the past two seasons, leading all FBS interior defensive linemen in pressures (102) and run-defense stops (55).”

J.C. Latham, an offensive tackle from Alabama, is still the most mocked Bengals option at Pick 18 on the consensus big board (19% of mocks over the last two weeks).
