With the NFL draft only a few days away, fans are excited to hear who the next player in Bengal stripes will be. Cincinnati heads into the draft with no real pressing needs. In the first round of the most recent drafts, Cincinnati has drafted based on need, luxury, and BPA (Best Player Available).
The 2012 draft shows need, not only did Cincinnati address a need at cornerback when selecting Dre Kirkpatrick, but they also addressed a need at guard in Kevin Zeitler. In 2013, the Bengals took the luxury approach by selecting tight end Tyler Eifert.
