The 6-3, 300-pound Jenkins, the son of four-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Kris Jenkins, started for two seasons, played in 44 games, and was a captain for the defending national champions. Jenkins was the first Michigan player taken in this year's draft, the third straight the Bengals took a Michigan defensive player with a pick between Nos. 31 and 60. Defensive back Dax Hill went at the bottom of the first round two years ago and last year cornerback DJ Turner went late in the second round at No. 60. "They won the national championship for a reason. They're surrounded by a bunch of good guys," said defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo. "It's a bit of a coincidence there. But Kris will fit right in with our guys."

A battle-tested big-play artist after four seasons as a starter in the SEC, the 6-foot, 196-pound Burton averaged 18 yards per catch playing for both Alabama and Georgia. He led national champion Georgia in yards receiving in 2021 before transferring to the Crimson Tide. The man making the announcement in Detroit just happened to be T.J. Houshmandzadeh, Burton's trainer and the fifth-leading receiver in Bengals history with 507 catches. He was fired up about Burton joining three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins another draft prospect he worked with.

The 6-2, 326-pound Jackson is a two-time captain and four-year starter who played up and down the line in 40 games. He aligned as the nose tackle in odd fronts and has lined up at multiple positions in even fronts while logging 15.5 tackles for loss and 7.5 sacks in his career. “You add a big nose that we needed. You add the athletic guy in Jenkins earlier. You just added depth to that room that we needed. They both have different skill sets, but they fit us very well,” said defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo. “(Jackson) has played a little bit of everything, but he’s really a two-down nose."
