Bengals' Mock QB Pick Ignores the Defensive Board

Cincinnati's needs sit on defense and special teams, yet the house mock hands them Darian Mensah at 17 — a quarterback nobody flagged as a need. Meanwhile the model has two linebackers stacked right where the Bengals pick: Rasheem Biles at 15 overall with a 50-spot gap to the room, and Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa at 12 overall, 15 spots ahead of where the room has him. If Cincinnati is serious about fixing its front seven, the mock's quarterback lean looks like the wrong script entirely.
