The Cincinnati Bengals approach the 2025 NFL draft with a host of needs on the defensive side of the ball and some obvious issues on the offensive line in front of Joe Burrow.
As is the case most years, the Bengals don't project to get overly aggressive and trade up for help, especially in the first round, given the costs involved.
But that doesn't mean it isn't fun to play the what if? game and look at projections that do just that.
Fox Sports' Ralph Vacchiano, for example, just issued a mock draft where every team trades in Round 1 and has the Bengals moving all the way up to No.
