2021 NFL Mock Draft: Zach Wilson rises to Jets at No. 2 in 3-round projection

At No. 5 in this mock, the Cincinnati Bengals land offensive tackle Penei Sewell out of Oregon.

Cincinnati needs to beef up their offensive line, which they do here while also landing the second-highest rated player on the board according to The Draft Network and Drae Harris from their site is high on his competitiveness although he does wonder if he needs to move inside at some point in his career.

"“In the run game, he demonstrates his physical toughness as an in-line blocker. He comes off the ball with the intent to maul you inside and he’s dominant on combo blocks. In the passing game, he demonstrates his competitiveness and length on the perimeter. He’s rarely on the ground, but has a few reps where his technique falters a bit and puts his body in tough positions. Later in his career, he will easily kick inside to guard if athletic edge rushers start to give him issues. He may ultimately prove to be a better fit inside.” — Harris, The Draft Network"

Even with Harris thinking Sewell might need to move inside, there are more than enough scouts who see him as a franchise left tackle. And the Bengals would be more than willing to play him in that role.
