Tucker is another name to keep an eye on during this week’s draft.

The NFL Draft is set to be underway later this week, and the Cincinnati Bengals are continuing to build their draft board.

There is no doubt that the Bengals will be looking to add to their offensive line heading into the 2024 season, and they are meeting virtually with another offensive line prospect.

Marshall’s Dalton Tucker is a versatile and athletic lineman in this draft and logged some impressive numbers at his pro day.

Tucker recorded a 34-inch vertical and a 9-foot-4 broad jump, as many expect him to be able to play both tackle and guard in the NFL.

In an interview with The Draft Network, Tucker talked about teams interested in him at multiple positions.

“There’s been quite a few teams showing interest in me playing guard. At the same time, I’ve had a bunch of teams that think I can play offensive tackle as well. I’m a versatile player that can play both guard and tackle. We’ll see where it goes once I find out where I’m headed.”

As for the teams showing interest in Tucker, the Bengals are right there in the mix for the Marshall star.

“I had a great 30 visit with the Colts. I’ve also had virtual meetings with the Cardinals, Bengals, Giants, and Titans. I had a Zoom with the Colts as well. We may have a few more on the schedule. It’s been a busy process.”

It will be interesting to see the direction the Bengals go during this week’s draft, but add Tucker to the list of names to keep an eye on.
