Summary

The Cincinnati Bengals added two potential starters on day 2 of the 2025 NFL Draft with linebacker Demetrius Knight Jr. and left guard Dylan Fairchild. But Jake Liscow and James Rapien have questions about the process that led the Bengals to prioritizing linebacker ahead of guard in the second round, even if the players themselves could make sense for what they're trying to do. Knight should start right away and profiles to be a 3-down linebacker in Al Golden's defense, while Fairchild is familiar with Scott Peters' strike system and should be the favorite to start at left guard. So what's the problem? The guys break it all down.
