If there is a silver lining to the miserable start for the Cincinnati Bengals with Zac Taylor, it’s the high-quality rebuild fuel provided by a sure-fire top-10 selection.
And as of this writing, the Bengals are in contention for the top overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft.
According to Tankathon, which tracks exactly what it sounds like it tracks, the Bengals are one of four winless teams and in first place for the top overall pick.
Washington, Miami and the New York Jets are the other teams in serious contention for the top spot right now.
This can and will change over the course of the season but it’s easy to see the Bengals sticking in this race. Sunday, the latest loss, featured little pass rush, a poor offensive approach and the only offense scoring once Arizona suffered an injury in the secondary.
Firmly stuck in a rebuild, the Bengals at least have chosen a good year to be in this position thanks to a draft class featuring Chase Young and quarterbacks like Tua Tagovailoa.
