        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Bengals are back on the clock.</p><p>Unlike Thursday night, when the world knew <strong>Cincinnati would take Joe Burrow</strong>, LSU&#8217;s Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback, with the first overall pick in the NFL Draft 2020, the Bengals&#8217; choice to kick off the second round Friday night isn&#8217;t as obvious.</p><p>Still, several Pro Bowl-level talents remain available. Here are the top-10 prospects still available:</p><h2>D&#8217;Andre Swift, RB, Georgia</h2><p>It took 32 picks for the first running back of the draft to be selected — LSU&#8217;s Clyde Edwards-Helaire to the Chiefs — but Swift shouldn&#8217;t have to wait too long to be taken. The explosive and patient 5-foot-9 Swift is an all-around gem, having averaged 6.6 yards per carry in three seasons at Georgia, while providing a solid option as a receiver or blocker on pass plays.</p><h2>Xavier McKinney, S, Alabama</h2><p>The best safety is still on the board. A versatile defender with strong instincts, McKinney hits hard and rarely misses tackles, capable of creating havoc in the run or pass game. In two years as a starter, he registered six sacks, five interceptions, two defensive touchdowns and six forced fumbles.</p><figure id="attachment_15548657"  class="wp-caption alignnone aligncenter"><strong><noscript><img data- data-src="/uploads/2020/04/round2.jpg" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" /><noscript><img  data-src="/uploads/2020/04/round2.jpg" /></noscript></noscript><img class="lazyload" src='data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20210%20140%22%3E%3C/svg%3E' data- data-src="/uploads/2020/04/round2.jpg" /></strong><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><span>Xavier McKinney; D&#8217;Andre Swift; Tee Higgins</span><span class="credit">Getty Images</span></figcaption></figure><h2>Ross Blacklock, DT, TCU</h2><p>Limited to two seasons at TCU due to a 2018 Achilles injury, the quick and powerful 6-foot-4, 300-pounder is a top-tier run defender, who showcased potential as a high-end interior pass-rusher.</p><h2>J.K. Dobbins, RB, Ohio State</h2><p>Three Buckeyes were taken with the top-20 picks — including two of the top-three selections. Soon, Ryan Day&#8217;s best offensive talent will join them. The 5-foot-10 speedster finished sixth in the Heisman voting last season, rushing for 2,003 yards and 21 touchdowns, while averaging 6.7 yards per carry.</p><h2>Tee Higgins, WR, Clemson</h2><p>This loaded wide receiver class had six selected in the first round. Higgins could have easily made it seven. The 6-foot-4 Clemson standout is a big target and versatile receiver, who helped the Tigers win a national championship and produced 25 touchdowns and 2,103 yards receiving the past two seasons.</p><h2>A.J. Epensa, DE, Iowa</h2><p>The 6-foot-6, 280-pounder won&#8217;t blow anyone away with his athleticism on tape, but the strong, hard-working pass-rusher has an incredibly high floor as a productive NFL player. Over the past two years at Iowa, Epenesa registered a total of 22 sacks.</p><h2>Jonathan Taylor, Wisconsin, RB</h2><p>Two decades or so ago, Mike Ditka might have traded all his draft picks for the Badgers star. Dominant since his freshman season at Wisconsin, Taylor is a home run hitter who finished in the top-nine in Heisman voting in each of his three seasons, leaving Wisconsin with 6,174 rushing yards, 50 touchdowns and 6.7 yards per carry.</p><h2>Yetur Gross-Matos, DE, Penn State</h2><p>The 6-foot-5 edge rusher presents problems with his length, threatening quarterbacks from between or outside the tackles. Gross-Matos produced 17 sacks the past two seasons.</p><h2>Ezra Cleveland, OT, Boise State</h2><p>At 6-foot-6, 311 pounds, Cleveland offers enticing athleticism and strength, who excels at blocking at the second level.</p><h2>Grant Delpit, S, LSU</h2><p>Delpit&#8217;s stock dropped after he struggled with his health and missed tackles as a senior, but the Louisiana native could be the steal of the draft. Once projected to be a mid-first round pick, Delpit was the leader of the Tigers defense en route to a national championship. Delpit&#8217;s athleticism and aggressiveness could make him a star at the next level.</p><h2>2020 NFL Draft Order: Round 2</h2><p>33. Bengals</p><p>34. Colts (from Redskins)</p><p>35.
