Bengals find Joe Burrow's new blindside blocker in latest mock draft

The Bengals retooled their offensive line last offseason. But according to Pro Football Focus' latest mock draft, they are not done quite yet.

PFF has Cincinnati selecting Oklahoma offensive tackle Anton Harrison with pick No. 28 in the 2023 NFL Draft. 

After allowing just five sacks in three years as a starter, Harrison "shows an impressive feel for pass protection," PFF's Trevor Sikkema writes.

It's a real possibility Harrison is available when the Bengals select at No. 28 as he is currently ranked as PFF's No. 30 overall prospect in the draft. But a lot can change between now and the end of April and the NFL Combine just kicked off in Indianapolis.

Harrison has a massive frame standing at 6-foot-5, 315 pounds and would become QB Joe Burrow's newest blindside blocker.

Offensive tackle Jonah Williams has held that spot since Burrow entered the NFL in 2020. However, Williams allowed a league-high 12 sacks in 2022 and Cincinnati must decide if he is in the team's future plans.

If not, as PFF and others believe, Harrison would be another great addition to an offensive line that will do its best to protect one of the NFL's best quarterbacks for the foreseeable future.
