Duke Tobin explains why Bengals are hesitant to trade up in the draft

When reports came out earlier this week that Kentucky EDGE Josh Allen was planning on visiting the Bengals, some wondered if they would trade up for him.

Allen is going to be off the board by the fifth overall pick at the latest, and most mock drafts having him going third. The only way the Bengals would get him is if they trade up.

The Cincinnati Enquirer spoke with Bengals’ Director of Personnel Duke Tobin, and Tobin seemed to answer questions people have about trades.

“That’s not something we felt is a best practice for our team to do that,” said Tobin.
