On this date, three years ago, the Cincinnati Bengals held the first overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Before we dive into it, let’s take a nice (painful) stroll back to the 2019 season.
In Zac Taylor’s first season as the newest Head Coach, Cincinnati went a whopping 2-14 on the season.
The team started the year 0-11 and didn’t pick its first win until Week 13, at home, against Sam Darnold and the New York Jets.
Fast-forward to the NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins were interested in trading up to take Joe Burrow, but the Bengals had been locked on the 2019 Heisman winner for months.
