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.

Now, we’re hearing that Lincoln Riley’s team will have to tackle Joe Burrow without one of its most dominant defenders.
Bruce Feldman of The Athletic reported Wednesday that defensive end Ronnie Perkins will not play in the peach bowl because of a suspension. Perkins may merely be a sophomore but the pass rusher leads his team in sacks with 6 and he also leads his team’s defensive line with 38 tackles, that’s seventh-most on the Sooners squad. He has 13 and a half tackles for loss this season and is second on the team in QB hurries.
If that weren’t bad news enough, SoonerScoop.com is reporting that two members of the offense will also miss the game Dec. 28. The Rivals.com network site reported Wednesday that running back Rhamondre Stevenson and wide receiver Trejan Bridges are also suspended.
Both players have played in all 13 games for Oklahoma this season.
Stevenson is third in team rushing yards and has six rushing TD this season, only quarterback Jalen Hurts has more scores on the ground for the team.
Bridges have seven receptions for 82 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Riley wouldn’t confirm the reports Wednesday, saying “I’m aware of the report that is out there. Unfortunately at this time, I cannot comment on it.”
When a reporter followed up by asking Riley if Stephenson would play, the Sooners head coach said: “Kennedy Brooks will play.”
Brooks, for what it’s worth, is second in team rushing yards between Hurts and Stephenson. Brooks has 976 rushing yards and five TDs this year.
