The Cincinnati Bengals approach the 2024 NFL draft with a variety of needs sure to pepper the big board of prospects as they await their turn.
In fact, one of the only spots the Bengals don’t figure to select is quarterback. Protecting the quarterback, though, is a big concern, so offensive tackle could be the play with Jonah Williams slated for free agency.
