The Cincinnati Bengals<\/a> have long felt like a team set on the best edge rusher or cornerback at No. 10 overall in the upcoming draft.<\/p>\n

Where outsiders leave room for debate is when it comes to which player actually gets his name called.<\/p>\n

NFL draft expert Todd McShay<\/a>, for example, recently made it sound like Cincinnati\u2019s pick will boil down to one of the best remaining cornerbacks\u2026if Miami Hurricanes edge rusher Rueben Bain isn\u2019t on the board.<\/p>\n

Bain is the fifth overall player on PFF\u2019s board<\/a>, where this is the description for a player who graded at 92.8 last year: \u201cBain’s lack of length will be a talking point, but his production and play strength outweigh those concerns. He consistently wins with power and intelligence as both a run defender and pass rusher.\u201d<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll see if the Bengals<\/a> love Bain as much as McShay seems to think, but another high-upside pass-rusher who is just 21 years old would create an even bigger ceiling for an edge group in Cincinnati that would boast three first-round selections.<\/p>\n

If it\u2019s corner at No. 10, the conversation probably comes down to LSU\u2019s Mansoor Delane or Tennessee\u2019s Jermod McCoy.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s Bain who gets the big spotlight here, so it\u2019s something to keep in mind.<\/p>\n
