Reports indicate neither Bengals nor Redskins are interested in trading back

Two reports centering on the first two teams picking in the 2020 NFL Draft indicate that neither team is going to trade back from their spot. That means the Detroit Lions at No. 3 are the first team that is potentially open for business for teams looking to trade up.

It’s long been a given that the Cincinnati Bengals were not interested in moving back from No. 1. ESPN’s Adam Schefter was the latest of many to note the door is closed. The pick will be Ohio State QB Joe Burrow.

With some coy ambiguity on the player in question, NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport has reiterated what others have also been preaching for days now. Washington is sticking at No. 2 and will get the player they want, refusing all trade offers.

Lions GM Bob Quinn has indicated a willingness to trade out of No. 3, though not falling back very far. If his phone wasn’t already ringing off the hook, it surely is now.
