Following Week 18, the Bengals have clinched the 10th overall pick in April’s draft after a 6-11 season, including a home defeat to the Cleveland Browns in the regular-season finale.
The Bengals more than earned their spot in the top 10, something they haven’t held since taking Ja’Marr Chase fifth overall in the 2021 draft. They’ll certainly be hoping for someone even close to that talent when they go on the clock in April, ideally someone on defense.
Here’s to hoping this is the start of a massive offseason that gets Cincinnati back to the postseason.
