A loss on Sunday to the Philadelphia Eagles dropped the Cincinnati Bengals to 3-5 on the year.
While they do sit just 1.5 games out of a playoff spot, they are currently on the outside looking in, so they would be sitting inside the top 18 in the draft order entering Week 9. But where exactly do they sit coming to the halfway point of the season?
According to Tankathon, the Bengals sit 11th in the draft order entering Week 9. The Bengals are currently the only team in the NFL with a 3-5 mark after eight weeks, putting them right outside the top ten.
