If the 2020 NFL draft started today the Cincinnati Bengals would have a top-5 pick.
And after Monday, the Bengals sure look like a team ready for the draft to get here.
According to NFL.com’s Dan Parr, the Bengals would pick third behind the Washington Redskins and Denver Broncos based on win percentage.
This sort of draft slot would put the Bengals in range for one of the top quarterbacks in the class, provided they want to go that route.
Mock drafts love the idea of Tua Tagovailoa or Justin Herbert for the Bengals.
If not, offensive line is a clear problem that threatens to derail the entire season and a top-10 product there would join a returning Jonah Williams next year.
Based on what the Bengals have shown so far, they’ll stick in this competition for the entire season. They play the tanking Dolphins in Week 16 — and might just be the worse of the two teams right now.
