When it came time for the 2022 NFL Draft, it was evident the Cincinnati Bengals were fully committed to upgrading the defense, especially the secondary.
Out of their six draft picks, Cincinnati landed five defensive players, three of which were defensive backs.
Of course, that began in Round 1 when the Bengals got Michigan Wolverines do-it-all safety Daxton Hill with the 31st pick. That also proved to be one of the best value picks any team made in Round 1.
Going into the draft, Hill was ranked 14th overall by ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr.
