The Cincinnati Bengals didn’t play on Sunday, yet they actually gained in the updated NFL draft order.
In the wake of Sunday’s non-Bengals action, Cincinnati actually gained one spot in the draft order, moving up to 14th overall.
The current order:
1. Chicago (1-11)
2. New England (2-10)
3. Arizona (3-10)
4. Washington (4-9)
5. Chicago (4-8)
6. New York Giants (4-8)
7. New York Jets (4-8)
8. Tennessee (4-8)
9. New Orleans (5-7)
10. Tampa Bay (5-7)
11. Las Vegas (5-7)
12. Los Angeles Chargers (5-7)
13. Green Bay (5-6)
14. Cincinnati (5-6)
15. Buffalo (6-6)
16. Denver (6-6)
17. Seattle (6-6)
The Bengals play on Monday night against the Jacksonville Jaguars, where a loss to fall to 5-7 would boost them up the rankings even more. That would align with projections that say they should land a top 10 pick.
Update: With the Chiefs losing to Green Bay on Sunday night, the Bengals moved up another spot to 13th overall.
