Super Bowl LVI served as a fascinating case study between completely opposite approaches to team-building. The Cincinnati Bengals' success centered around 2020 No. 1 overall pick Joe Burrow and 2021 No. 5 overall pick Ja'Marr Chase. The Bengals rounded out their roster with plenty of free-agent signings, but the recent investments in Burrow and Chase helped them unexpectedly reach the Super Bowl this season. Meanwhile, the Rams went all-in via multiple trades for Matthew Stafford, Von Miller and Jalen Ramsey. They haven't made a first-round pick since trading up for quarterback Jared Goff in 2016, but they've done an excellent job mining for talent in the later rounds.
