Mel Kiper On Myles Murphy
“I was a little surprised by the Bengals’ choice to take edge rusher Myles Murphy (28) in Round 1, if only because there were solid tight ends, safeties and cornerbacks available. Credit to them for not reaching for a direct need, though, as a team can never have too many pass-rushers. Murphy likely will slot in as a rotational player behind Trey Hendrickson and Sam Hubbard as a rookie, but Murphy is going to make an impact. I like his chances to be a starter in 2024 and beyond.”

Mel Kiper On Bengals Day 2:
“Cincinnati filled needs on Day 2. You’re going to hear about the speed of Michigan cornerback DJ Turner (60) — he ran a 4.26-second 40-yard dash at the combine — but he had good tape last season too. He isn’t just a burner. And now he’ll get to play with former college teammate Dax Hill in this secondary. Safety Jordan Battle (95) is extremely versatile; he started three years for Nick Saban’s defense, so you know he has been well-coached.”
Mel Kiper On Bengals Day 3:
“Wide receiver Charlie Jones (131) and running back Chase Brown (163) were nice values on my board. Joe Mixon had a down 2022 season, and I could see Brown getting some carries as a rookie. Andrei Iosivas (206) is a raw wideout from the Ivy League with sprinter’s speed in a 6-foot-3 frame. This is a dart throw, but it’s the kind of Round 7 pick I can get behind.”
Grade the Bengals Draft Class! A, B, C, D or F
Mel Kiper Final Thoughts:
“The Bengals did a solid job filling their needs, though I’m not going to give them an A because they didn’t take a tight end in one of the deepest tight end classes over the past 20 years. That’s a miss. Overall, if Murphy develops into an every-down player, we could be looking at an A class in a few years.”
