Mel Kiper: Cincinnati Bengals are 'ideal spot' for tackle Penei Sewell

The Enquirer had the Cincinnati Bengals selecting Oregon tackle Penei Sewell with the No. 5 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft in the latest mock draft. ESPN’s Mel Kiper agrees.

Kiper was asked about Sewell on a conference call this week and the long-time draft analyst believes the Bengals are a great fit for the 6-foot-6, 330-pound lineman.

"When you look at the situation with Penei Sewell, I think he's ideal at Cincinnati at 5. You're getting a left tackle. People will say ‘oh well, he's a little overrated.’ I'm not buying that,” Kiper said on a conference call.
