30. Cincinnati Bengals (6-0)-Shaq Lawson, Edge, Clemson
The Cincinnati Bengals have been consistently one of the top teams in the NFL over the past several years thanks to their strong drafts. They have routinely done a good job adding talent and depth to the roster which has helped them overcome any set backs.
Clemson’s Shaq Lawson would fit the Bengals’ recent trend of bringing good football players who should move into a more prominent role as he develops. Lawson isn’t the type of player who’ll generate pressure with his speed but will provide more of an all-around impact.
He’s equally talented of a run defender as he is as a pass rusher. His use of inside hands, leverage and power lets him set the edge against the run.
