Bengals' Defense Strengthened, Center Spot Next
Description
The Cincinnati Bengals are focusing on bolstering their defense in the 2026 NFL Draft, trading for All-Pro DT Dexter Lawrence and drafting DE Cashius Howell and CB Tacario Davis. With their defense set, they now need to find a long-term center to replace Ted Karras, who is in a contract year. Top center prospects include Auburns Connor Lew and Kansas States Sam Hecht, both known for their excellent pass protection. The Bengals pick at 109 in the fourth round and 189 in the sixth, so they need to act fast to secure a center and protect QB Joe Burrow.
