Super Bowl LVI is the top priority for Joe Burrow and his Bengals’ teammates at the moment. Cincinnati’s front office cannot have such a singular focus. They need to spend a lot of time preparing for the 2022 NFL Draft if they want to remain a viable Super Bowl contender for the foreseeable future. Acquiring more protection for Burrow has to be the team’s top priority. Jonah Williams gave the team good production at left tackle but help could be used at any other position along the offensive front. The upcoming free agencies of star safety Jessie Bates and cornerback Eli Apple could also influence Cincinnati’s draft plans. In Round 1, count on the Bengals to select a player who can help keep Burrow upright more often next season.
