Mansoor Delane, an LSU cornerback, is visiting the Cincinnati Bengals, Baltimore Ravens, and Washington Commanders. After a strong 2025 season, Delane's potential selection at the 10th pick could impact the futures of current Bengals players DJ Turner and Dax Hill.
According to Ian Rapoport, the Cincinnati Bengals are set to meet with LSU cornerback Mansoor Delane, who will also visit the Baltimore Ravens and Washington Commanders.
Delane is coming off a fantastic 2025 season with LSU after transferring from Virginia Tech. Delane is 6-0 and 182 pounds. He has played over 2,400 career snaps, is physical in run support, competitive at the catch point, had just a 40.0% completion rate allowed against in 2025, and has good ball skills with 8 career interceptions.
If Delane is the pick at 10, it will lead to speculation about the futures of DJ Turner and Dax Hill. Both players are entering the final season of their current contracts. It would also raise the question about which player will be expected to kick inside and play in the slot this upcoming season. Dax Hill has experience doing it, but even Zac Taylor has stated how much they think the outside cornerback position has been his spot.
Another fair point that is often made is just how often injuries occur at the position. Drafting a talented player like Delane with shutdown potential is never a bad thing. Obviously, a lot will depend on who is still available when the Bengals are on the clock.
One thing is certain: In less than two weeks, we will know which players from this draft class the Cincinnati Bengals are going forward with.
