The Cincinnati Bengals boast a handful of notable winners and losers coming out of the 2020 NFL draft.
Whether it’s decision-makers, veterans who have some competition or prospects about to flourish, the 2020 draft did much to filter big names into the two columns.
After a widely-praised performance in the draft, these are the winners and losers before we look ahead to the summer.
Winner: Joe Burrow
Burrow’s been a winner for a long time now and he’s long had the adoration of the Cincinnati fanbase.
But how great was it for him to sit there and watch the Bengals use a premium pick on Tee Higgins? Now he’s going into an offense with A.J. Green, Tyler Boyd, John Ross, Joe Mixon, Giovani Bernard…and a top rookie wideout who models his game after A.J Green.
Good luck figuring out a better situation for a No. 1 rookie quarterback to enter. Cam Newton all those years ago maybe?
