Cincy Jungle

● By John Acree
Winter is coming, but that can be a good thing, especially if your team has a good spring. For the Cincinnati Bengals, half of the battle is already won. The Bengals had one of their best off-season free-agent hauls yet, landing a franchise left tackle along with potential starters on both sides of the ball. Next up is the 2023 NFL Draft, which is scheduled to begin Thursday, April 27 at 8 p.m. The Bengals are already one of the favorites to make another appearance in the Super Bowl, and a good showing in the draft will only enhance those odds. Prognosticators have Cincinnati going in lots of different directions with their first pick, which isn’t until No. 28 thanks to a second straight appearance in the AFC Championship game.
