The topic of the Cincinnati Bengals drafting a running back in the 2023 NFL draft has sparked a major debate among fans.
For some, drafting a running back is a shrug-worthy idea. After all, after losing Samaje Perine, the team could always grab a veteran or mid-round rookie to pair with Joe Mixon and call it a day.
But for others, running back is something the Bengals should look at starting right in Round 1.
What we do know? Mixon’s current contract is probably too expensive going into next year, but the team has no incentive right now to move on before the draft. Perine was a big loss, but they really like Trayveon Williams. Also…Ezekiel Elliott apparently has the team as a finalist.
Anyway, here’s a sampling of the debate raging online right now.
