Despite efforts continue to add depth to the position, the Cincinnati Bengals could still use some help at cornerback. If they’re serious about finding another long-term option on the outside, then they should think about drafting a player already playing in the state.

Ohio State’s Gareon Conley is another talented prospect in the Buckeyes secondary. He has the athleticism and natural ball skills to create turnovers or shadow receivers to ensure that they can’t make any big plays.

As long as Conley can add a bit more muscle to his 6’1”, 195-pound frame, there’s no reason the Buckeyes corner couldn’t have the potential to be a lockdown corner at the next level.

The Bengals are going to need that kind of player once Adam Jones decides to call it quits, because Darqueze Dennard hasn’t exactly blown anyone away.
