Brandon Thompson, defensive tackle, Clemson (6-2, 310)
Thompson is a great value for the Bengals in round three. He’s a bit linear as a pass rusher, but he’s got a good first step, can anchor vs. the run game and is one of the draft’s top nose tackles. Should be able to mature into a solid starter with some time.
NFL Ceiling: Above-average NFL nose tackle
NFL Floor: Solid reserve nose tackle
