The Cincinnati Bengals are hard at work at the 2020 NFL combine.
While the Bengals go through the paces there — and they’re way ahead of last year’s free-agency process — it seems like a good time to fire up another mock draft. We already looked at an all-defensive seven-round mock draft.
Here’s another mock before player workouts begin. This was simulated via The Draft Network’s mock draft simulator.
1. Joe Burrow, QB, LSU

There’s no reason to go any other way. Reports said Burrow crushed his interview with the Bengals. Then more reports said it.
Burrow, coming off one of the best seasons by a passer in history, has said he’d like to play for the Bengals. Jordan Palmer says Burrow might be a better pro than he was a collegiate player.
While an option like Tua Tagovailoa might have some allure, and trading down might seem like a good idea, 90 percent of the teams in the league would take Burrow in Cincinnati’s position, too.
