No. 24: Cincinnati Bengals

2015 Record: 12-4

The Pick: WR Corey Coleman, Baylor

The Cincinnati Bengals don’t exactly have a plethora of needs entering this draft. They could use some help in the secondary after giving up 3,976 passing yards (No. 20 in the NFL) last season, but there isn’t a ton of value in the defensive backfield at No. 23 overall.

Adding a complement to No. 1 wideout A.J. Green would be an excellent addition though. And it would turn a potent Bengals passing game into even more of a formidable force.

Baylor wide receiver Corey Coleman would be an idea pick for this spot. And he would alleviate any concerns should fellow wideout Marvin Jones depart via free agency.

Oh, and it helps Coleman was the recipient of the 2015 Fred Biletnikoff award.

Next: No. 25: Pittsburgh Steelers
