The worst-kept secret of the 2020 NFL draft is that the Cincinnati Bengals are going to draft Joe Burrow.

On Wednesday, the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said the Bengals "have not come out and said they are taking him, but...this looks like the biggest slam dunk we've seen in a very long time."

In that same report, Rapoport also noted that the Bengals have used all of their allotted time to meet with prospects talking to Burrow.

Albert Breer of The MMQB reported the same, noting the Bengals have "maxed out their time with Burrow over the last few weeks, as they work to build a relationship with him.
