Team source confirms Cincinnati Bengals 'are going to take' Joe Burrow first in NFL Draft

A high-level Bengals source told The Enquirer in December that Joe Burrow was at the top of the team’s draft board. Burrow’s position on Cincinnati’s board has not and will not change.

The Bengals intend to draft Burrow with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, sources tell The Enquirer. It would take an astronomical trade offer for the Bengals to be persuaded otherwise, and the team doesn’t foresee that happening.

“We are going to take Burrow,” one Bengals source said.

The team hasn’t wavered from its stance despite speculation that Burrow might not want to come to Cincinnati.
