How will the Bengals continue to build around quarterback Joe Burrow? That’s the main question on the minds of every Cincinnati Bengals fan entering the 2021 NFL Draft.
Like last year, the Bengals find themselves near the top of the draft order and will be able to acquire a blue chip prospect with their first-round pick. However, this isn’t like when everyone knew they were going to take Burrow. The conversation this year is surrounding a handful of premier offensive prospects such as Ja’Marr Chase, Penei Sewell, and even Kyle Pitts.
Of course, the draft features more than just one round. No matter whom the Bengals select with the fifth pick, they will surely target offensive and defensive lineman throughout the three-day affair later this month.
The NFL’s plan is to conduct the draft in-person once again, with prominent prospects able to attend and walk onstage to greet NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. This is also the first time the draft is being held in Cleveland, Ohio, as picks will be announced in front the Cleveland Browns’ home field at FirstEnergy Stadium, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and the Great Lakes Science Center.
But four hours southwest of all the festivities, the Bengals will be working to put together a second-consecutive impactful draft class. Follow this stream for everything to know about the Bengals’ 2021 draft!
