Bengals Won't Trade No. 1 Pick
5 years agoThe Cincinnati Bengals, who have received interest into the No. 1 overall pick of the draft, will not trade it away and will make the pick Thursday night, according to sources. The Bengals have been pretty adamant about keeping the No. 1 overall pick in this year's draft, and they are fully expected to take LSU quarterback Joe Burrow with that pick. ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting that Bengals president Mike Brown welcomed Burrow to the team on Wednesday. Andy Dalton was benched in 2019 but ended the season at the starter, but the team is keeping its options open with Burrow coming on board. With the COVID-19 pandemic possibly wiping out all offseason workouts, keeping Dalton as an insurance policy is a realistic possibility.
