Andrew Dockerill Mock Draft 2026 5.0: The Sexy Dexy Fever Dream

What a difference 24 hours makes. Before the Bengals’ blockbuster trade for Dexter Lawrence (still wow), Sonny Styles and Lee Hunter were my picks in rounds one and two of my ‘Dream’ mock draft. The Lawrence trade really fires up an ‘all in’ mentality for the next few years, and adds a stud nose tackle who has 30.5 sacks and 40 tackles for loss in 109 career games. He not only brings his own statistical presence but will also allow those around him to thrive. Expect great opportunities for Stewart and Murphy to finally thrive in softer roles alongside Mafe, with the linebacker questions also softened by the improvement Lawrence will add in plugging run lanes at first contact and the addition of Cook at safety to further support the spine of the defence. But still, huge pressure remains on the round second-round pick to really take this defense into a top 10, Super Bowl-challenging type.

It’s now four years since the 2022 season, so we took this opportunity to go back and review how this draft turned out. Off the back of an incredible Super Bowl season, could the Bengals reload and get to the promised land? Who improved as the years went on? And who went in the opposite direction?

Andrew Dockerill Mock Draft 2026 2.0: Post-Combine special

The Underwear Olympics, aka the NFL Combine, returned last week, and so we move from Senior Bowl drafting into picking those who altered their stock in Indianapolis.

Most of the Combine is about getting the players in one place for medicals and interviews, with on-field drills providing a secondary bit of information to check/recheck your scouting notes. Here are a few that stood out to me.

Andrew Dockerill Bengals mock draft 3.0: The Dream

The draft week is swiftly closing in, so it’s time to get serious: it’s time for my ‘Dream Mock’ based on what Joe Goodberry’s FanSpeak Big Board gives me. No restrictions to Senior Bowl players or Combine performances, just simply best player available. This draft truly can’t be understated in its correlation to the Bengals’ 2025/26 season ambitions, with plenty of holes remaining after a less-than-ambitious offseason of salary cap management and extension dramas.
