After quarterback, the Cincinnati Bengals figure to hit a variety of different needs in the 2020 NFL draft.
Included there is edge rusher, where the team would like to grab some rotational upgrades that better fit a multiple look. Pressure creators with the versatility to drop into coverage are the priority in each round.
We also looked at a linebacker in each round for the Bengals, as well as a wide receiver in each round.
Round 1: Chase Young, Ohio State
Joe Burrow is the pick in Round 1 but we’d be remiss not to mention Ohio State star Chase Young.
Presumably this year’s Nick Bosa, Young is an instant-starting star who will help reshape the complexion of whichever defense he joins. It’s hard not to like the idea of his joining the Bengals and putting pressure on quarterbacks alongside guys like Geno Atkins and Carlos Dunlap.
