Assessing the value Cam Taylor-Britt

Coming into the NFL Draft, defensive back was the Cincinnati Bengals’ biggest need on defense, and they attacked it on all three days of the draft.

With the 60th-overall pick, the Bengals nabbed Nebraska Cornhuskers cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt. They traded up with the Buffalo Bills to make sure they got Taylor-Britt, giving up a sixth-round pick in the process, so there was clearly strong interest in what CTB can bring to the Bengals defense.

During the 2021 college football season as a redshirt junior, the 5-foot-11, 196-pounder had 51 total tackles, three tackles for loss, 11 pass deflections, one sack, and one interception while allowing just 35 completions on 66 targets for 351 yards and three scores.
