The Cincinnati Bengals are looking for a big hit in the upcoming draft that begins on Thursday.
One recent example head coach Zac Taylor can think of came on the second day of the 2020 draft when the Bengals selected LB Logan Wilson with the 65th overall pick.
Here’s what Taylor had to say in Geoff Hobson’s article on the Bengals official website:
“Logan is the guy I can remember watching 30 picks tick off the clock with your fingers crossed. He’s one. There have certainly been other guys that fit that description from, what was Tee, 33? From about pick 34 to whatever we drafted Logan, you are just crossing your fingers and watching the clock.”
With three years in the books, Wilson has brought in seven interceptions, along with 4.5 sacks and two forced fumbles.
Wilson was absolutely a worthwhile pick where they were able to get him, and Cincinnati should hope it can do the same thing this week when the second day rolls around.
