With the 49th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Cincinnati Bengals have chosen Michigan defensive tackle Kris Jenkins. As a key contributor to the Wolverines’ championship run last season, Jenkins brings a wealth of experience and impressive physical attributes to Cincinnati. He joins the team’s recent first-round selection, Georgia offensive tackle Amarius Mims, who is expected to make a significant impact on the Bengals’ offensive line.
In the hopes of protecting star quarterback Joe Burrow, the Cincinnati Bengals have taken Georgia offensive tackle Amarius Mims with the No. 18 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Despite his limited experience with only eight career starts, Mims brings exceptional size and athleticism to the Bengals’ offensive line, standing at 6-foot-7 and weighing 340 pounds. Coming off a season-ending wrist injury that cost the Bengals a playoff berth, Burrow’s protection becomes a top priority for the team. Mims’ impressive collegiate record with zero quarterback hits or sacks allowed on 377 pass-blocking snaps makes him a promising addition to the Bengals’ offensive line.
With 11 Georgia Bulldogs declaring for the 2024 NFL Draft, the program once again showcases its dominance in recruiting and developing talent. Following two consecutive national championships, Georgia has produced an astounding 25 NFL draft picks in the past two years. Tight end Brock Bowers, a projected top-15 selection, is the biggest prospect for this year’s draft, while offensive tackle Amarius Mims and wide receiver Ladd McConkey are also projected to go in the first round.
