Bengals Prepare for NFL Combine, Assess Prospects

As the NFL Combine approaches, the Cincinnati Bengals are focusing on potential draft prospects to fill key positions. They are particularly interested in offensive players who could complement quarterback Joe Burrow, with wide receiver Burden emerging as a top target. Additionally, the Bengals are looking to bolster their defensive line, with Nolen being a favored prospect due to the team's recent struggles in that area. The draft class is noted for its depth in defensive linemen, providing the Bengals with multiple options. Beyond the draft, the Bengals are also preparing for free agency, specifically seeking to strengthen their running back depth as several players are set to become free agents. With the team's financial constraints, they are likely to pursue both a free agent and a draft pick for the running back position.
