Caleb Downs Unlikely for Bengals Following Bryan Cook Signing

The Cincinnati Bengals' signing of safety Bryan Cook to a three-year, $40.25 million deal has significantly decreased the likelihood of them selecting Caleb Downs with the 10th overall pick. With Cook and Jordan Battle now anchoring the secondary, the team's defensive priorities have shifted. Additionally, Kansas City's roster moves, including the signing of Kenneth Walker III, suggest they are unlikely to target Jeremiyah Love at pick No. 9, further impacting draft projections.
