24. Cincinnati Bengals
Jason Verrett
CB, TCU

With Terrence Newman and Adam Jones aging quickly, and Leon Hall coming off a torn ACL, the Bengals need youth at corner. They did nothing to alleviate this concern during the initial free agency burst. Verrett is undersized at 5’9, but he’s unafraid to mix it up in press coverage and body up physical receivers. Prospects from TCU are well schooled defensively. He ran a 4.38 forty-yard dash at the NFL Combine.
