CINCINNATI — ESPN's Matt Miller ranked his favorite 2025 NFL Draft picks 1-100 this week and Cincinnati had two selections make the list: Shemar Stewart at No. 39 and Dylan Fairchild at No. 63.
Miller started with Stewart at No. 39, a player Cincinnati selected with the 17th pick last Thursday. "Stewart starred in the predraft process, acing the combine and showing his explosive ability in testing," Miller wrote.
"The Bengals were intrigued enough to make a small reach in terms of value, but Stewart's upside is as high as any player in the class. If he can turn his testing numbers into production on a Cincinnati defense that is seeking help, Stewart will look like a steal at No. 17.
" Stewart was the 19th-best player on the consensus big board and fourth among edge rushers. The Bengals' new guard got more love from Miller as a draft steal. "Fairchild was one of my favorite interior prospects despite being banged up throughout last season.
The Bengals' interior offensive line is in enough flux that I ranked guard as their No. 5 overall need," Miller wrote . Fairchild was the consensus big board's 118th-best player and 10th-best interior offensive lineman.
