Bengals Turn Bold Trades Into a 7-Pick 2026 Draft Win

The Bengals capped a busy draft weekend with two major trades—moving No. 10 to acquire Dexter Lawrence II and then trading with the Jets to grab two extra fourth-round picks—along with a bigger, tech-enhanced scouting operation. They landed seven selections: Cashius Howell (DE, Texas A&M) in Round 2, Tacario Davis (CB, Washington) in Round 3, Connor Lew (C, Auburn) and Colbie Young (WR, Georgia) in Round 4, Brian Parker II (OL, Duke) in Round 6, and Jack Endries (TE, Texas) plus Landon Robinson (DT, Navy) in Round 7. The moves reflect a strengthened draft room under Duke Tobin, with new scouts Hinch and Ramsey, and an emphasis on versatile, Burrow-fit players and value-driven picks.

Dexter Lawrence Trade Propels Bengals to Strong 2026 Draft Grades

The Bengals’ 2026 draft, bolstered by a blockbuster Dexter Lawrence trade, netted eight picks (four on offense, four on defense) and a final grade of A-. Key moves included edge rusher Cashius Howell at 41, CB Tacario Davis at 72, and versatile Connor Lew at 128, with Colbie Young (high upside but injury-prone), TE Jack Endries (value pick), and DL Landon Robinson (late-round steal) among the later selections. The haul strengthens Cincinnati’s defense around Lawrence and adds depth up front, but linebacker and nickel-corner needs remain.

Bengals Roll the Dice on Cashius Howell to Power Up Pass Rush

The Bengals used the 41st pick of the 2026 NFL Draft to select Texas A&M edge Cashius Howell, aiming to bolster a defense that has been rebuilt with Dexter Lawrence and several free‑agent additions. Howell posted 11 sacks and 14.5 tackles-for-loss last season and is expected to boost Cincinnati’s pass rush immediately, potentially serving as a versatile starter or designated pass rusher after the departure of Trey Hendrickson.

49ers Pivot to Day 2 Targets After Round 1 Trade

The 49ers traded out of the first round with the Jets and are now eyeing Day 2 help across WR, S, OG, and EDGE, including Denzel Boston, Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, Chase Bisontis, TJ Parker, and Cashius Howell. McNeil-Warren is noted for playmaking and few penalties, Bisontis would add interior OL depth, Boston offers a big red-zone threat, and Howell is a productive edge defender despite concerns about arm length, with Lynch signaling openness to further deals as Day 2 approaches.

Kiper's Final Mock Sends Bengals Defensive Upgrades With Delane & Howell

ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr.'s final two-round mock has the Bengals doubling down on defense: at No. 10, LSU corner Mansoor Delane—a clean, technically sound cover man with 27 PBUs and eight INTs over four seasons (three at Virginia Tech)—but questions about translating the SEC to the NFL; at No. 41, Texas A&M edge Cashius Howell, who had 11.5 sacks and 16.5 TFL last season despite size/arm-length concerns. Cincinnati's pass defense allowed 7.8 yards per pass in 2025, and Kiper notes potential defensive picks like Arvel Reese, Caleb Downs, David Bailey, and Sonny Styles could be off the board by Cincinnati's selections, making the D need and possible Dax Hill/DJ Turner negotiations key factors guiding these picks.
