Updated: April 10, 2025

EDGE Mike Green, Marshall

Nick Baumgardner, The Athletic

"Green is a phenomenal athlete who gives off Parsons-like vibes in terms of versatility."

Charles McDonald, Yahoo Sports

"Green led the NCAA in sacks last season and has had a strong pre-draft process to solidify him as a first-round pick. He is an explosive, bendy pass rusher with the hustle to make the most of his athletic gifts."

LB Jihaad Campbell, Alabama

Mel Kiper Jr., ESPN

"Campbell... is a complete football player. Look at this stat line from 2024: 112 tackles, 5 sacks, 11.5 tackles for loss, 16 pressures, 12 run stops, 1 interception, 4 pass breakups and 2 forced fumbles."

DT Walter Nolen, Mississippi

Mason Cameron, Pro Football Focus

"Nolen and his 91.6 PFF run-defense grade (second in FBS) from this past season will revitalize the Bengals' defensive line."

G Tyler Booker, Alabama

Rob Rang, Fox Sports

"Booker is a classic brawler out of 'Bama with the frame and physicality that would be an upgrade in Cincinnati at either left or right guard. "

DT Kenneth Grant, Michigan

Connor Rogers, NBC Sports

"Grant's size allows him to be a run-stuffing presence at nose tackle from day one, but there is more pass rush ability to tap into with him and his quickness."

EDGE Shemar Stewart, Texas A&M

Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz, USA Today Sports

"Stewart figures to be the kind of high-upside player who would be of great interest to the Bengals as they try to load up the underfunded defense with young talent."

EDGE Mykel Williams, Georgia

Rhett Lewis, NFL.com

"Williams is a traits-heavy prospect who needs to develop his skills in order to achieve higher-level productivity."

DT Derrick Harmon, Oregon

Marcus Mosher, The 33rd Team

"Derrick Harmon has solidified himself as a top-25 pick in this year's draft, as he is one of the cleanest prospects at defensive tackle... Harmon can play either defensive tackle spot, and his motor never stops."
