Stripe Hype

It's never too early to start talking about the NFL Draft! The Cincinnati Bengals, who sit at 2-3 right now, need to get something going or we could be turning our attention to the draft before the end of the season. In this mock draft, which I conducted on Pro Football Network's mock draft simulator, I had the Bengals adding help to their secondary with their first two picks and then adding a wide receiver in the third round. With Eli Apple, Jessie Bates, and Vonn Bell all set to become free agents in 2023, Cincinnati needs to make sure their secondary can stay dominant in case all three of those guys leave in the offseason.
