The Cincinnati Bengals enter the 2025 NFL Draft on April 24 with six picks over the three-day draft. The Bengals solidified their offensive foundation this offseason by signing wide receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins to new deals but are left with multiple glaring needs in the draft. Defensive tackle, offensive guard, linebacker and safety are among the biggest needs.
Cincinnati may focus on an impact player on defense with All-Pro edge Trey Hendrickson’s future with the team uncertain, but the need to protect franchise quarterback Joe Burrow could make offensive line the top draft priority. Look for them also to add a running back to complement Chase Brown. Director of player personnel Duke Tobin said the team would like more picks, so a trade could be in the works .
