About this episode
The Cincinnati Bengals are focusing on defense in the 2026 NFL Draft, with new coordinator Al Golden aiming to revamp the unit. Theyve already acquired veteran talent and are considering a high pick, possibly at tenth overall with Ohio States Caleb Downs in the mix. The team is showing interest in Toledo safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, a versatile playmaker with a strong all-around game. McNeil-Warren has five interceptions, around 69 tackles per season, 13 passes knocked down, and 11 tackles for loss from 2023 to 2025. Analysts believe he fits the mold of Seattles swarming defense, which won the Lombardi last year. Despite signing Bryan Cook in free agency, the Bengals are still looking for safety help in the draft to bolster their back end.
