2022 NFL Mock Draft: Cleveland Browns shock with Kenny Pickett selection

31. Cincinnati Bengals: Trevor Penning, OT, Northern Iowa
The Cincinnati Bengals are close to winning it all as they made it to the Super Bowl following a huge win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Even with them getting to the big game, a glaring issue has been seen all season — the offensive line.
Cincinnati needs to add some talent to this unit, especially at tackle and they land a good one here in Trevor Penning. As Jim Nagy said recently, he won the top OL award for the National Team at the Senior Bowl and he spent the whole week showing that he’s one of the best in the class.
Penning plays with a mean streak and upset many of the players during the drills which can be contagious along the O-line. Cincy can use some of that edge and Penning will make life even easier on Joe Burrow.
32. Detroit Lions (via Los Angeles Rams): Jahan Dotson, WR, Penn State
The Los Angeles Rams made it to the Super Bowl in their first season with Matthew Stafford under center which already makes the trade worth it. For his former team, the Detroit Lions, they end up with the final pick in this mock and use that on wide receiver Jahan Dotson from Penn State.
In desperate need of help at receiver, Dotson could come in and help open up their offense.
