Three Offensive Tackles The Cincinnati Bengals can Target in Round 2

The Cincinnati Bengals draft will truly begin in round two, with Joe Burrow likely being their first selection. Here, we look at three offensive tackles they could take at pick 33. 

Joe Burrow has officially erased any questions about what the Cincinnati Bengals should do with their prized number one pick. Assuming the front office makes the obvious choice and brings the Athens native home, the immediate focus should shift towards protecting their new franchise quarterback.

The team has two solidified starters in recently extended Trey Hopkins and last year’s top pick, Jonah Williams. In addition, there is hope Michael Jordan can take the next step and lockdown another starting spot. Beyond that, things start to become less clear.

Despite the usual conservative approach, the Bengals will likely make some sort of move in free agency. With quite a few guards set to hit the market in their price range, fans can hold out hope the team will bring one to Cincinnati. However, it’s unlikely big money will be spent to pry a quality offensive tackle from another team.

That leaves the draft to fill the deficiency at the position. Thankfully, the 2020 class is shaping up to be a great one both in terms of top-end talent and depth. With that, here are three offensive tackles the Bengals could have the opportunity to draft in round two.
