Bengals 2025 draft class:
Rd 1: EDGE Shemar Stewart
Rd 2: LB Demetrius Knight Jr.
Rd. 3: IOL Dylan Fairchild
Rd. 4: LB Barrett Carter
Rd. 5: OL Jalen Rivers
Rd. 6: RB Tahj Brooks

Field Yates on Dylan Fairchild: “The Bengals came into the draft with an obvious need at guard, using a pair of picks on Fairchild and Jalen Rivers in the fifth round. I view Fairchild as the superior prospect, and he should have the inside track to start right away for Cincinnati. He brings reliable pass protection -- he allowed pressure on 0.4% of his pass-block reps during the 2024 season -- and toughness. Fairchild rarely found himself out of position in college and has an excellent temperament. He plays every snap with a level of consistency that offensive line coaches love.”

Field Yates on Demetrius Knight Jr: “Cincinnati has worked to overhaul its defense this offseason and found a plug-and-play starter in Knight, whose hard-hitting, physical nature should bring an attitude adjustment to the Bengals' D. Knight finished his college career at South Carolina and was around the ball often. He had three forced fumbles, a pair of sacks and an interception last season. Remember, Germaine Pratt requested a trade, too, so there could be plenty of snaps on the table for Knight.”
