Cornerback wasn’t a real need going into the 2019 NFL Draft, but the Bengals did take one with their final pick.
Jordan Brown was taken in Round 7 after initially being projected to go in the Rounds 4-5 range. Even so, he’ll have a tough time cracking the final roster with so much competition at cornerback.
And even if Brown makes the final roster, he won’t be making bank anytime soon (compared to most NFL players at least).
As a seventh-round pick, Brown will get a contract that pays him less than $800K in each of his four years.
