Cincinnati Bengals NFL Draft 2026 pick tracker: Grades, fits and scouting reports

The Cincinnati Bengals did some maneuvering on Day 3 of the NFL Draft, trading back 18 spots with the Jets from 110 to 128 in the fourth round and turning their pick at 199 into the final pick of the fourth (140).They used pick No. 128 on Auburn center Connor Lew, presumably to be the succession plan for veteran Ted Karras. Lew, who tore his ACL in October, confirmed on a conference call with the Cincinnati media on Saturday that he is on track for full recovery. There have been no setbacks and, if anything, he’s a little ahead of schedule. “I expect to be 100 percent for training camp,” he said.Advertisement
