Here’s one Cincinnati Bengals fans probably didn’t think they would have to see near the start of October — the Bengals are currently slotted for a top-eight pick in the 2024 NFL draft.
According to the tracking at Tankathon, the Bengals are eighth in the current order as of Monday as one of the seven teams with a 1-3 record so far, putting them behind the two winless teams at the top of the order.
At least for now, there’s no sense in beginning a deep dive on possible draft prospects this early in the season, but the current draft order really speaks to how far off the rails things have gone for the Bengals after just four games.
And a disclaimer, of course — the Bengals could always climb back out of this hole. They plan to let Joe Burrow keep playing through the injury, starting in Week 5 against the Arizona Cardinals.
