Another LSU Bengal, who says no? NFL Network's Bucky Brooks posted his first 2024 NFL mock draft on NFL.com and had the Bengals selecting LSU wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr.

The 6-foot-4, 205-pound talent posted 68 catches for 1,177 yards and 17 touchdowns this past season.

"The potential loss of Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd in free agency could force the Bengals to take an offensive weapon early in the draft," Brooks wrote. "Thomas is an athletic playmaker with the size and ball skills to thrive as a WR2 opposite Ja’Marr Chase."

Thomas is currently ranked 23rd overall on the consensus big board and fifth among wide receivers.
