The Cincinnati Bengals will clearly make the defensive line a priority during the 2025 NFL draft.
Zac Taylor and the Bengals have been all over pass rushers and interior defensive linemen during pre-draft meetings, whether it's underrated prospects to know or some of the biggest outright names in the draft.
While detailing an upcoming visit Cincinnati has with Nebraska's Ty Robinson, Tony Pauline of Sportskeeda mentions what teams like about him as a likely Day 2 fit:
"Teams absolutely love his versatility, and Robinson is a big, athletic defender who was used all over the line for Nebraska and produced. Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn has spoken highly of Robinson and loves the fact that he’s a three-down defender who can play in multiple schemes at multiple defensive line positions. League sources tell me he’s a more athletic version of Pittsburgh Steeler defensive lineman Cameron Heyward."

As always, the word "versatility" is huge to the Bengals in the trenches on either side of the ball.
In this case, Robinson would be another guy they can move around the line and put in different formations, depending on what new coordinator Al Golden wants to do.
The Bengals have Kris Jenkins Jr. and McKinnley Jackson as second-year players they still believe in, never mind former first-rounder Myles Murphy on the edge. But adding another talent like Robinson to the rotation seems inevitable at this point.
