Coming into Day 3, Davis-Gaither was regarded as one of the best players left on the board, so this was a very nice value pick. He was Pro Football Focus’ 67th-best prospect coming into the draft.
This marks the second linebacker the Bengals has taken in the draft, as they took Wyoming linebacker Logan Wilson with their third-round pick.
Linebacker was arguably the team’s biggest need after quarterback coming into the draft, so it’s no surprise to see them take two within their first four selections.
