The Athletic Lays Out Diverse Full 2025 Mock Draft For Bengals

 The Athletic's Dane Brugler released his full seven-round mock draft this week as the 2025 NFL Draft sits just eight days away. Like many other mocks, Brugler projects the Bengals to pick plenty of defensive names, starting with Oregon defensive tackle at Pick 17.

Harmon is ranked 28th on the consensus big board and third among defensive tackles.

"The Bengals have several needs on defense. Above all, though, they need an impact guy — and Harmon fits the bill," Brugler wrote. "No other interior defensive lineman was more disruptive in the FBS last season, against both run and pass. It’s hard to go wrong drafting guys who hate to be blocked, and that sums up Harmon."

Next, Cincinnati took Arkansas edge rusher Landon Jackson at Pick 49.

Jackson is ranked 50th on the consensus big board and the ninth-ranked edge rusher. Brugler had Cincinnati rolling with LSU guard Miles Frazier at Pick 81 in the third round.

"The Bengals can find a starter-quality guard on Day 2 of this year’s draft," Brugler wrote about Frazier. "Although not a top-tier athlete, Frazier plays with mauling strength and the competitive finish that fits what the Bengals like at the position."

Frazier is ranked 159th on the consensus big board and 14th among interior linemen.

Check out the rest of the picks below with their consensus ranking:

(119). RB Trevor Etienne, Georgia, 167th

(153). LB Barrett Carter, Clemson, 110th

(193). S Sebastian Castro, Iowa, 164th
