 The Bengals took a defensive tackle in Daniel Jeremiah's first 2025 mock draft on NFL.com. Ole Miss star Walter Nolan went to Cincinnati at Pick 17.

"Nolen is a dynamic interior disruptor. He would be a key part of a turnaround under new Bengals defensive coordinator Al Golden," Jeremiah wrote.

Defensive tackle is an obvious need with B.J. Hill's contract up and Sheldon Rankins falling flat in his first year as a Bengal. Nolan is the consensus big board's 27th-best player and third-best defensive lineman.
