Even though the argument can be made the Cincinnati Bengals deserve to be No. 32 on this list after only winning two games in 2019, keep in mind the team did end the year on a high note by defeating the Cleveland Browns.
For most of the season, the Bengals appeared to be strong candidates to end up on the wrong side of NFL history by going the entire year without winning a single game, but luckily this was far from the case.
On a positive note, as a result of Cincinnati only winning two games, the team was fortunate enough to earn the top overall pick in April’s draft, which will most likely be Joe Burrow after the LSU star recently led his team to win the National Championship.
In comparison, Burrow seems like the much better option in the long run for the Bengals over Andy Dalton since the former TCU star has received numerous times to prove himself of continuing to be the starter, yet it finally seems like the right time to move on.
The last thing Cincinnati can afford to do later on is look back at the draft, and wondering what could have been with Burrow, so chances are the team will select the quarterback with the top overall pick, that is unless another team makes an intriguing trade offer.
