24. Cincinnati Bengals: O’Cyrus Torrence, OG, Florida
Even after all the additions the Cincinnati Bengals made to their offensive line, it’s still not where they want it to be. They’re improving, but there’s still room for more talent and since they have the main positions on offense figured out, they can dedicate more capital there.
Right now O’Cyrus Torrence is one of the top guards in this class and the Bengals would be happy to put the 332-pound mauler at left guard. Even if his arrival doesn’t fix the entire line, it should still be a step in the right direction.
CB. Penn State. Joey Porter, Jr.. player. 123. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 25
25. Dallas Cowboys: Joey Porter, Jr., CB, Penn State
Dan Quinn has been a great addition to the Dallas Cowboys. He turned their porous defense into a powerhouse in just one season and they’re looking even better this year. There are several players who stand out including Trevon Diggs but the top performer has been Micah Parsons.
The Penn State product has been all over the field making plays, including racking up 13 sacks as a rookie and has four more to start out his second season. While those two are building blocks, Dallas could use another starting cornerback, and they go back to the Nittany Lions to find that.
Joey Porter, Jr. looks exactly the way a Dan Quinn corner should. At 6-foot- and 195-pounds, he can frustrate opposing wideouts and while he has just one career pick, he has broken up 10 passes in the first five games of the 2022 season.
