Bengals' Josh Malone: Fourth-round pick for Cincinnati

The Bengals selected Malone in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL Draft, 128th overall.

Analysis:

Malone (6-foot-3, 208 pounds) may be a bit one-dimensional as a deep-route specialist, but he's still a good prospect and a great value this late. He's a former top recruit who earned rave reviews in Tennessee practices as a freshman, but generally struggled along with the rest of the team's passing game in his first two years. That changed in 2016, when Malone totaled 972 yards and 11 touchdowns on just 78 targets. With 4.4 speed, Malone rounds out a prospect profile that implies considerable upside. Unfortunately, he won't see a big role anytime soon with A.J. Green, John Ross and Tyler Boyd already in Cincinnati.
