PFF praises Bengals for improving depth with selections in 2023 NFL Draft

PFF's Trevor Sikkema recently shared one major NFL Draft takeaway for every team in the league, and for Cincinnati, here's what he had to say.

"They have the depth for a deep playoff run.

I loved the Bengals draft for where they are in their Super Bowl-contending window. They drafted a high-ceiling edge rusher in Myles Murphy who you might be worried about playing right away, but one who, in a rotation with the experienced edge rushers the Bengals already have, will play a role down the stretch.

They picked up a potential starter in the secondary in DJ Turner after losing three starters in free agency. Plus, they drafted experienced college football players in Jordan Battle, Charlie Jones and, in the middle rounds who can step in, if needed, and not look overwhelmed due to their high floors."
