Defensive back Tacario Davis of University of Washington is the Cincinnati Bengals' third-round pick (72nd overall) in the 2026 NFL Draft.
The 6-foot-4, 195-pound Davis, who played last season for the Huskies after playing three seasons at Arizona, is the second player selected by the Bengals in this draft. Earlier, Cincinnati selected edge Cashius Howell in the second round.
Defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence was acquired in a trade with the Giants for the 10th pick of the first round. The Giants selected offensive tackle Francis Mauigoa with that pick.
