Despite failing to tank at the end of the 2020, the Cincinnati Bengals will be on the clock with the fifth-overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.
While trading back is also an option, the three players that Cincinnati should want the most will likely still be on the board after a flurry of quarterback selections should headline the top-three picks.
With tight end Kyle Pitts, wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase, and offensive lineman Penei Sewell the three that the Bengals should narrow it down to, Cincinnati, according to ESPN’s Mike Tannenbaum, who was also a former NFL general manager, has an easy decision.
