While the Cincinnati Bengals are fighting for a playoff spot with just five weeks left in the season, their potential landing spot in the first round of the draft is also starting to come into focus.
Going into Week 14, the Bengals would currently be in position for a spot in the early 20s, based on the order over at Tankathon.
Since picks 19-32 are determined based on playoff results, Tanktahon simply orders the playoff teams by their current seeds and uses that to determine the current order for the playoff teams. The Bengals are grouped with the rest of the wild card teams and sorted by record and then strength of schedule.
That would currently slot the Bengals at No. 22, behind the two 6-6 playoff teams, San Francisco (who is sending their pick to Miami) and Washington and also behind Buffalo, as the Bills have an easier schedule than Cincinnati at the moment (.476 vs .483) with both teams at 7-5.
The current draft order, via Tankathon:
- Detroit Lions 1-10-1
- Jacksonville Jaguars 2-10
- Houston Texans 2-10
- New York Jets 3-9
- New York Jets (via Seattle Seahawks 4-8)
- New York Giants (via Chicago Bears 4-8)
- New York Giants 4-8
- Atlanta Falcons 5-7

- Minnesota Vikings 5-7
- New Orleans Saints 5-7
