Welcome to the best non-game day in all of sports – the 2024 NFL draft.
NFL franchises can make or break their immediate futures over the next three days, and we certainly know about that here in Cincinnati. Gone are the days of disappointments, such as Dan Wilkinson, Ki-Jana Carter and Akili Smith. Now, we have a contender led by Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.
The Bengals pick at No. 18, and their biggest needs are defensive line, offensive tackle, cornerback and wide receiver. But they don’t need to force anything or reach for a player because they’ve already built one of the best teams in the NFL.
So sit back and enjoy the ride, Bengals fans. The Enquirer will have all the news, insights and analysis you’ll need over the next three days and will be here to break it all down once the dust settles.
