After the Cincinnati Bengals built a young and well-rounded roster, they had the luxury to adjust their strategy for the 2022 NFL Draft.
In 2019, the Cincinnati Bengals needed a starting left tackle and a starting linebacker, so they added Jonah Williams and Germaine Pratt. In 2020, the Bengals drafted Joe Burrow, Tee Higgins and Logan Wilson to start. In 2021, the Bengals did the same thing with Ja’Marr Chase.
Since the Bengals addressed the offensive line so aggressively in free agency, they entered the 2022 NFL Draft without a critical need at any of their starting positions.
