Report: Michigan’s Devin Bush thinks he won’t fall past Bengals at No. 11

LB Devin Bush entering draft with belief he won’t get past Bengals at 11, per source. Anything different would be at least mild surprise. Steelers and others who might entertain moving up for him will need to make a big jump.

Michigan linebacker Devin Bush continues to be one of names heating up in the hours before the 2019 NFL draft.

Rest assured the Cincinnati Bengals are watching the situation closely.

According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Bush believes he’s going to be a top-11 pick, with those Bengals as the floor for were he might end up.

Makes plenty of sense given the Bengals’ needs and the linebacker class as a whole. Linebacker is arguably the biggest hole on the roster right now and outside of LSU’s Devin White, Bush is the top linebacker in the class by a long shot.

Of course, Bush’s stock flying up now (meaning the media catching on to how the NFL feels) could also be bad news for the Bengals, as both top linebackers coming off the board before they walk to the podium leaves them with a tough decision.
