Bengals Select Markus Bailey: Instant Grade and Analysis

The Cincinnati Bengals have completely revamped their linebacker unit through the 2020 draft. In the 7th round, the team dipped into the position group for the third time to select Markus Bailey out of Purdue.

In his best season, Bailey racked up 115 tackles and 5.5 sacks. The first thing that comes to the forefront in his scouting reports is his mental processing. He clearly has a high football IQ, something that has been a trend in this year’s Bengals draft class.
