Top 10 Targets for the Bengals

With the first overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Cincinnati Bengal select quarterback Joe Burrow, LSU. The Bengals ate taking Joe Burrow, there is no doubt in my mind that they will even trade down from that pick. When you have a quarterback like Burrow that just had the best college season in history, you have to pick him and also he is from Ohio as well. It is the perfect situation for Burrow and his family, this pick is gonna happen no matter what.

The Cincinnati Bengals need to protect Joe Burrow at all costs, you do not want Burrow to end up like Andrew Luck. They need to put pieces around Burrow to make him successful, that is gonna be an offensive line. The Bengals are having left tackle Jonah Williams come back in this upcoming season. The Bengals need to fix that whole right side of the line if Burrow wants to have success in the NFL.

The linebacker core is deeper than what most people think. Jordyn Brooks is not that sideline to sideline linebacker but he is that fill the gap linebacker. But if the Bengals choose to go with a linebacker that can run sideline to sideline Willie Gay and Troy Dye are perfect for what they need. Brooks mean, gap linebacker. Dye and Gay sideline linebackers.
