The Cincinnati Bengals enter the 2023 NFL draft holding the 28th pick in the first round.

It’s a slot that has produced some interesting results over the years, including trench players and skill positions that led to notable careers for the players drafted.

As the Bengals approach the draft, the obvious needs rest along the offensive line and at positions prone to free agency losses such as cornerback and tight end.

Here’s a quick look at the last handful of players selected 28th overall. Keep in mind this year’s draft has 31 picks in the opening round because Miami forfeited what would have been the 21st pick.
