The Cincinnati Bengals saw a run on the cornerback position unfolding in the second round of the 2022 NFL draft and elected to trade up to secure Nebraska’s Cam Taylor-Britt.
Britt, 5’11” and 196 pounds with 4.38 speed, is the obvious candidate to come in right away and rotate with Eli Apple on the boundary. Besides the leadership on his resume, Britt has the positional versatility the team continues to flock to across the defense.
This pick comes on the heels of the Bengals using their first-rounder on Michigan safety Daxton Hill, who was immediately called one of the steals of the draft.
The Bengals traded up with the Bills, giving up picks 63 and 209 in the process to make the move happen.
