Mock Draft: Kiper and McShay project first 4 Bengals picks

Getting Preston Smith and Ereck Flowers would be a great start for the Bengals in the 2015 NFL Draft.

With the NFL Draft nearing, ESPN's Mel Kiper and Todd McShay conduction a live three-round mock draft on Thursday.

Kiper and McShay took turns making each pick with Kiper picking even numbers and McShay picking odd numbers. That's how McShay ended up making all four of Cincinnati's picks, and he got started with an offensive tackle in the first round:

McShay's pick: Ereck Flowers, OT, Miami (FL)

Current starting left tackle Andrew Whitworth and starting right tackle Andre Smith are both in the final years of their contracts, and Flowers is the top-ranked player left on the board.
