The Cincinnati Bengals' scouting team has been on the move, diligently observing prospects across the country. Recently, they were spotted at the Pro Days for the University of Texas, University of Connecticut, and University of Cincinnati, keeping a keen eye on some promising talents.
At Texas, linebackers Anthony Hill Jr. and Trey Moore were the main attractions. Hill leaned on his Combine numbers, while Moore impressed with his versatility.
There's some debate about Moore's best fit in the NFL, with opinions split between him being an edge rusher or a traditional linebacker. The Bengals had a meeting with Hill, who is projected to be picked between late Round 1 and early Round 2.
Turning to Cincinnati's Pro Day, linebackers Jake Golday and Jack Dingle caught the Bengals' attention. Head coach Zac Taylor and a substantial group of coaches were present to evaluate their performances. Golday has been gaining traction, and it's worth noting that Bearcats favorite Dontay Corleone, who recently slimmed down to 333 pounds, didn't participate in the workouts.
Wide receiver Jeff Caldwell, who turned heads at the Combine, also garnered interest from the Bengals. Their receiver coaches were closely watching his performance, indicating a serious interest.
Over at UConn, the focus shifted to Skyler Bell. With Day 2 potential, Bell could add a dynamic element to the Bengals' already formidable receiving corps. A member of the Bengals' receiver staff was on hand to evaluate his potential contribution.
It's clear the Bengals are eyeing both linebackers and wide receivers for the upcoming draft, particularly in Days 2 and 3. While other positions remain a priority, these prospects from the recent Pro Days are certainly on Cincinnati's radar for bolstering their roster.
