As the Cincinnati Bengals gear up for the 2025 NFL draft and spring activities, a shift in position plans for Dax Hill has emerged. Previously expected to transition to inside cornerback, it now appears he will remain a boundary cornerback, competing for a starting role against Cam Taylor-Britt and DJ Turner. This change suggests the Bengals may target versatile secondary players in the draft. Meanwhile, second-year cornerback Josh Newton is anticipated to fill the nickel position, replacing Mike Hilton, indicating a strategic pivot for the Bengals as they solidify their defensive lineup.
