Without further ado, let’s keep things rolling!
With the 10th overall pick in the 2026 SB Nation Community Mock Draft, Cincy Jungle’s Dale Altman and the Cincinnati Bengals select Mansoor Delane, cornerback, LSU!
Altman’s analysis:
My analysis: In a cornerback class lacking a consensus top player at the position, a team’s preference in cornerback this year will come down to flavor. In a normal year, McCoy is most likely the top guy if it wasn’t for his ACL injury, so I’m not surprised that ended up being the deciding factor here for Altman, especially after the board fell far from what he hoped.
The thing is, Delane is quite the consolation prize for a team that needs to their defense up to par with where the offense normally performs under Joe Burrow. If edge rusher is the most premium position on defense, cornerback would be a close second. Getting your choice of any corner is still quite the opportunity.

Delane is a high-ceiling cornerback who plays with ideal aggression and exhudes that alpha mentality that most top cornerbacks need in the NFL to rise up the ranks. At the same time, that aggression can backfire in crucial moments, but that is something the coaching staff will be tasked with polishing at the next level.
I like this pick for the Bengals.
