2022 NFL Mock Draft: Spencer Rattler free falls, Sam Howell to Giants
By Randy Gurzi
15. Cincinnati Bengals: Zion Nelson, OT, Miami
In desperate need of offensive line help, the Cincinnati Bengals went with a Band-Aid approach this offseason as they added free agents such as Riley Reiff as well as a couple of players after the first round. They took some heat for this but considering how well Ja’Marr Chase has been playing, they’re the ones laughing last.
Having said that, they could still use some help which is why they take Zion Nelson here. He could end up helping them improve the line which should help Joe Burrow continue to improve as the leader of this franchise.
16. New York Jets (via Seattle Seahawks): Treylon Burks, WR, Arkansas
The New York Jets got their first win this past weekend and Corey Davis had to love it since he was able to put up 111 yards and a touchdown against his former team. In his first four games with New York, Davis has been everything they hoped he would be but they could use a little more depth around him.
That’s why they pick up Treylon Burks with their second pick in this round. Burks is a huge target that could start opposite Burks. With those two and Elijah Moore in the slot, the Jets would have more than enough weapons for Zach Wilson to take his next step as a quarterback.
