Scouting Report. Oregon. Penei Sewell. 3. player. 56. Pick Analysis. OT

It’s safe to say the Cincinnati Bengals have their guy under center. Joe Burrow was fantastic this season before suffering a devastating knee injury. While the multiple tears in his knee might affect his mobility in the future, he’s a player who can adapt to that and continue to shine. His real talent is in his ability to read a defense and make the right throw — while also possessing a quick processor that allows him to adapt on the fly.

Cincinnati also has plenty of talent around him including running back Joe Mixon and fellow rookie wideout Tee Higgins. With that being the case, the Bengals will surely try and get someone to shore up the line to help Burrow have more time to get the ball to his weapons. That’s where Penei Sewell from Oregon comes in. Easily the top offensive tackle prospect, Sewell will help Burrow have more time in the pocket which will be great as he gets back up to speed but will also be a benefit long-term.

4. player. 123. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. CB. Alabama. Patrick Surtain II

There’s no denying the Dallas Cowboys defense is abysmal this season. And if we are being honest, they have been for some time. They might have gotten a lucky break here and there, but they’ve been awful in pass coverage for years and their pass rush is up and down and has depended far too much on one player in DeMarcus Lawrence for too long.

With all that being true, there are several spots on that side of the ball they could address at No. 4. They could even go with an offensive tackle, which is another issue. But where we go here is cornerback as Patrick Surtain is snatched up. He re-joins Trevon Diggs, their second-round pick from this past season, to give them a formidable cornerback duo (finally).
