The Bengals are being thorough as they prepare for the 2020 draft.
Cincinnati’s opportunity with the first overall selection is not one that the organization is decisive about yet.
Director of Player Personnel Duke Tobin explained to reporters this week that the team is evaluating options outside of just Heisman Trophy winner and National Champion quarterback Joe Burrow.
The Bengals’ own website explained Wednesday that the team is looking at other QBs and Sports Illustrated Thursday detailed how that evaluation process is, at this point, still a competition.
According to Tobin via SI, the Bengals are looking at Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa, Oregon’s Justin Herbert and Ohio State defensive end Chase Young.
Tobin, though, was clear that a quarterback is a priority.
“We know what Joe is on tape; we know what Tua is on tape; we know what Justin is on tape,” Tobin told SI. “Our role right now is to try to find out what we don’t know.”
From details regarding leadership style to how a QB adjusts to changing circumstances and what his personality is like on and off the field, the Bengals say they are considering everything about each player ahead of making the first pick.
