It seemed inevitable that the Bengals would take a wide receiver in the 2024 Draft with Tee Higgins on the franchise tag and Tyler Boyd leaving in free agency.
Arguably, a wide receiver selection is going to play more than a draft pick in any other position. The board fell just right, and the Bengals were able to add a wide receiver at pick 80, their first pick in the third round.
With pick 80 in the third round, the Cincinnati Bengals select Alabama wide receiver Jermaine Burton.
