NFL free agency is the first offseason event in which teams can get new players. However, the NFL Draft is easily the most exciting offseason event every year.
There, all 32 teams get seven rounds to find future NFL players to build their franchises around. The Cincinnati Bengals currently hold the No. 18 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. However, like many NFL teams, the bulk of the roster is made up of players taken after Round 1.
Some of the notable current and recent Bengals players taken after Day 1 of the draft include Jessie Bates, Tee Higgins, Andy Dalton, Cam Taylor-Britt, Geno Atkins, Carlos Dunlap, Michael Johnson, Sam Hubbard, Germaine Pratt, and Logan Wilson, among others.
