The Cincinnati Bengals’ 2025 draft class has been met with a myriad of opinions, but it largely addressed predictable areas. Although a player on the interior of the defensive line wasn’t selected, Cincinnati devoted half of its draft capital to improving the defense.
It was mostly a “meat and potatoes” draft for Cincinnati, save for one skill-position pick. With the six selections in hand and the UDFA class rounding out, there are both players who benefit from the roster additions made over the past couple of months, and others whose spots are now in jeopardy.
For the record — and a sentiment I’ve personally shared often — I’m not a fan of the term “loser” in this context.
