2015 NFL Mock Draft: Cincinnati Bengals Seven-Round Mock, Final Edition

Marvin Lewis NFL Combine — With the 2015 NFL Draft less than 24 hours away, its time for everyone to make their finally predictions. Tomorrow night, after much speculation and debate, we will finally witness how it all plays out, and what direction the Bengals will go with their first pick. Here is my final seven-round 2015 NFL mock draft for the Cincinnati Bengals.

With the 2015 NFL Draft less than 24 hours away, its time for everyone to make their finally predictions. Tomorrow night, after much speculation and debate, we will finally witness how it all plays out, and what direction the Bengals will go with their first pick. Here is my final seven-round 2015 NFL mock draft for the Cincinnati Bengals.

Round 1 (21): Jake Fisher, OT, Oregon

Round 1 (21): Jake Fisher, OT, Oregon

While defensive end is more of an immediate need, many signs are pointing to the Bengals drafting an offensive lineman with their 21st pick. And rumor has it, they are very interested in Fisher. With Andrew Whitworth becoming a free agent in 2016, this could solidify the left tackle position for the future. Whitworth may not like the move, but its a smart one.

Round 2 (53): Devin Funchess, WR/TE, Michigan

Round 2 (53): Devin Funchess, WR/TE, Michigan

This could be the perfect scenario for the Bengals. Funchess is a player with the physical capability to play both tight end and wide receiver. The Bengals need a tight end immediately and will need wide receiver depth in 2016, so Funchess could be exactly who they need for both situations.

Round 3 (85): Trey Flowers, DE, Arkansas

Round 3 (85): Trey Flowers, DE, Arkansas

Flowers would be a solid third round pickup for the Bengals, who need help in the pass-rushing department. Flowers led Arkansas in tackles for loss and sacks in 2014, and would bring a lot of power and strength to this defensive line.

Round 3 (99): Kwon Alexander, OLB, LSU

Round 3 (99): Kwon Alexander, OLB, LSU

Alexander would be a steal for the Bengals at the end of the third round, especially in a year when the Bengals are in need of an upgrade at the linebacker position. His quickness and athleticism, in addition to his ability to rush the quarterback, could be utilized in a big way in this Cincinnati defense.

Round 4 (120): Bobby Richardson, DT, Indiana

Round 4 (120): Bobby Richardson, DT, Indiana

Richardson is a solid defender against both the pass and the run. He has the capability of playing DT or DE and has a wicked spin move that he utilizes to get to the quarterback. Adding depth on the defensive line will only help the Bengals heading into the 2015 season.

Round 4 (135): David Parry, NT, Stanford

Round 4 (135): David Parry, NT, Stanford

David Parry is an underrated player who would provide some nice depth for the Bengals at the nose tackle position, especially with Domata Peko's age becoming a factor. This would be a perfect opportunity for Parry to learn from Peko, and possibly take over for him as the starter if he's lost to free agency in 2017.

Round 5 (157): Jordan Richards, S, Stanford

Round 5 (157): Jordan Richards, S, Stanford

The Bengals could benefit from gaining some depth at the safety position heading into next season. Richards has great hands and demonstrates great physicality on the field. He was the Bengals' fifth round pick in my previous mock draft, and I'm sticking with him.

Round 6 (197): Kenny Bell, WR, Nebraska

Round 6 (197): Kenny Bell, WR, Nebraska

The Bengals' top three wide receivers will all be free agents in 2016. I fully expect A.J. Green to receive the franchise tag, but the status of Mohamed Sanu and Marvin Jones is unknown. Picking up a quality WR late in the draft like Bell would be a smart move for the Bengals, if he in fact falls that far.

Round 7 (238): Antoine Everett, OG, McNeese St.

Round 7 (238): Antoine Everett, OG, McNeese St.

Everett would be a quality pick for the Bengals in the final round of the draft. The guard out of McNeese St. displays great technique and has the potential to eventually become a starter in the NFL. His football intelligence will definitely work to his advantage as he continues to improve behind a talented Bengals offensive line.
