The Cincinnati Bengals just completed arguably the most important NFL draft of the Joe Burrow era. But the 2025 NFL draft might match it. Given the trade requests of Tee Higgins and Trey Hendrickson and keeping in mind the massive list of free agents the Bengals could lose in 2025 free agency, next year’s draft will also play a huge role in whether the contention window remains open. Right now, it’s hard to not look ahead to the 2025 draft either, not with major names like James Pearce Jr. and Mason Graham looking like standouts already.
