Todd McShay thinks Bengals are locked on one player at 10th overall
· Yahoo Sports
The Cincinnati Bengals have long felt like a team set on the best edge rusher or cornerback at No. 10 overall in the upcoming draft.

Where outsiders leave room for debate is when it comes to which player actually gets his name called.
NFL draft expert Todd McShay, for example, recently made it sound like Cincinnati’s pick will boil down to one of the best remaining cornerbacks…if Miami Hurricanes edge rusher Rueben Bain isn’t on the board.
Bain is the fifth overall player on PFF’s board, where this is the description for a player who graded at 92.8 last year: “Bain's lack of length will be a talking point, but his production and play strength outweigh those concerns. He consistently wins with power and intelligence as both a run defender and pass rusher.”
We’ll see if the Bengals love Bain as much as McShay seems to think, but another high-upside pass-rusher who is just 21 years old would create an even bigger ceiling for an edge group in Cincinnati that would boast three first-round selections.
If it’s corner at No. 10, the conversation probably comes down to LSU’s Mansoor Delane or Tennessee’s Jermod McCoy.
But it’s Bain who gets the big spotlight here, so it’s something to keep in mind.

He doesn’t think either CB makes it to 12 after McCoy’s Pro Day reminded teams of his ability. pic.twitter.com/Qny7jNNYGs
