The first round of the 2023 NFL Draft is over, and the Cincinnati Bengals came away with a shiny new pass rusher in Clemson Tigers defender Myles Murphy. This doesn’t necessarily fill a need right now as Murphy likely will be a rotational piece this upcoming season, and the Bengals do still need a tight end, more depth at corner, and possibly a new right tackle, especially if the team decides to trade Jonah Williams.
Another possible need is at running back. Joe Mixon is due $12.76 million this season, but the Bengals can save just over $10 million of that money if they release him after June 1, something most analysts believe they’ll do.
