Bengals 3rd-round comp pick history thrust into spotlight ahead of 2027 NFL Draft
The Cincinnati Bengals made headlines when they decided not to follow through with a trade that would have landed them Philadelphia Eagles edge rusher Arnold Ebiketie.
After missing out on a compensatory pick in the most recent draft, the Bengals weren’t too likely to miss the chance at another one, especially a third-rounder. Especially after letting Trey Hendrickson walk for nothing in free agency.
Some believe that the front office’s handling of the botched trade is a fireable offense, while others know that nothing is guaranteed and the trade deadline doesn’t tell the whole story.
