What Bengals’ 2023 NFL draft says about TE, OL and other takeaways

Key takeaways for the Bengals coming out of the 2023 NFL draft.

The Cincinnati Bengals provided some in-your-face and not-so-obvious lessons with their path through the 2023 NFL draft.

There, the Bengals made eight picks, compiling a class that received widespread praise:

  • Round 1, No. 28: DE Myles Murphy, Clemson
  • Round 2, No. 60: CB DJ Turner, Michigan
  • Round 3, No. 95: S Jordan Battle, Alabama
  • Round 4, No. 131: WR Charlie Jones, Purdue
  • Round 5, No. 163: RB Chase Brown, Illinois
  • Round 6, No. 206: WR Andrei Iosivas, Princeton
  • Round 6, No. 217: P Brad Robbins, Michigan
  • Round 7, No. 246: CB DJ Ivey, Miami

It was another strong showing for Duke Tobin and Co., with even the surprising picks making sense and walking that fine tightrope between need and value.

Here’s a look at some of the key takeaways.
