There was a flurry of trades to start the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft, and the Cincinnati Bengals were involved in one.
The Bengals traded their No. 38 pick in the draft to the New England Patriots in exchange for pick No. 46 in the second round and pick No. 122 and 139 in the fourth round. It was Cincinnati first draft-day trade since 2019.
New England used the Bengals’ pick to draft Alabama defensive lineman Christian Barmore.
