Two straight wins have brought the Cincinnati Bengals back from 1-4 to 3-4 and right in the AFC playoff picture. But for now, they’re still outside the playoff picture, so a look at the draft order entering Week 8 doesn’t hurt.
The Bengals are obviously much closer to a playoff spot than the top pick now, a different story than a few weeks ago when they had the No. 2 overall pick.
According to Tankathon, the Bengals enter Week 8 holding the No. 12 pick in the draft. The Bengals have the easiest schedule among the three 3-4 teams, the others being the Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers.
