Loaded with elite weapons and led by a healthy Joe Burrow, the 2025 Cincinnati Bengals project as a fantasy powerhouse with multiple top-35 draft picks and sky-high offensive upside.

As we stressed constantly, the Cincinnati Bengals weren't going to trade star defensive end Trey Hendrickson during the NFL draft. Before the process, one insider speculated the Bengals could trade Hendrickson if they took Shemar Stewart in the first round.

But CBS Sports' Pete Prisco thinks the Bengals failed in some areas. Best Pick: Fourth-round linebacker Barrett Carter can flat-out fly and will challenge for time early in his career. His play tailed off some last season, but he's a guy I've had my eye on for years.
