Three years ago today, the Cincinnati Bengals drafted Joe Burrow with the first overall pick

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.
