First impressions are everything in life, including the NFL Draft.
With under 24 hours remaining before the start of the draft, the Bengals will have to figure out how to dominate the first round in order to win the rest of the weekend. What happens in the first round could very well dictate how successful the team will be Friday and Saturday.
This isn't just any other draft. The Bengals could easily be a player or two away from winning the Super Bowl if all holds well together. So how aggressive do the Bengals need to be in the first round?
The Strictly Stripes crew gives their final analysis on how the first round could and should play out for the Bengals on Thursday. They also look back at the 2020 and 2021 draft results for the Bengals and assess what the present would look like if Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase weren't drafted by Cincinnati.
This podcast features Mohammad Ahmad, Andrew Gillis and Michael Niziolek.
