With a while left to go before the Cincinnati Bengals season begins, it’s never too soon to look at mock drafts for the 2024 offseason.
Luke Easterling of Athlon Sports had the Bengals with the 28th pick, selecting Ohio State offensive lineman Donovan Jackson.
Here’s why Easterling believes this would be a good pick for the Bengals next year:
Protecting Joe Burrow should remain the Bengals’ top priority, allowing him to take full advantage of the NFL’s top receiver duo of Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Jackson is a plug-and-play starter who could immediately give the Bengals a long-term upgrade at either guard spot.
The Bengals got their upgrade at tackle with the Orlando Brown Jr. signing, forcing a competition on the right side, so a guard spot would be the next place to look to get better with Jackson, who started 13 games at left guard in 2022.

Bengals Improve Offensive Line in Projected 2024 Mock Draft
With the Cincinnati Bengals’ season still a while away, mock drafts for the 2024 offseason are already being looked at. Athlon Sports’ Luke Easterling predicts the Bengals will pick Ohio State offensive lineman Donovan Jackson with the 28th pick. Easterling believes this would be a good pick as it prioritizes protecting Joe Burrow and maximizing the potential of receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Jackson is seen as a plug-and-play starter who can upgrade the Bengals’ guard position. The Bengals have already improved their tackle spot with the signing of Orlando Brown Jr., so guard is the next area to address.
