The Cincinnati Bengals are gearing up for a big bounce-back season in 2024 after missing the playoffs in the 2023 campaign. They are also looking forward to the additions they are going to make at the 20234 NFL Draft, as it offense an opportunity for the AFC North division franchise to inject youth into the roster and address at least some of the team’s weaknesses.
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is expecting the team’s incoming rookies to contribute right away.
“We need the guys that we draft to come in and be productive and take on the leadership roles that we’ve lost the last couple of years,” Burrow shared recently (via Ben Baby of ESPN). “And we need to bring in the right pieces this offseason too, whether it’s the draft or free agency.
The Bengals, who finished 2023 with just a 9-8 record, are currently positioned at the 18th spot overall in the 2024 NFL Draft order. They also own the 49th, 80th, 116th, 148th, 175th, 196th picks, 235th, and 252nd picks..
Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals Look Forward To Re-establish Form In 2024
Burrow was limited to just 10 games in 2023 after he suffered a right wrist injury that forced him to miss the remainder of the campaign. Although he is yet not allowed for full-contact activities, the expectation is that he will get cleared as soon as May. That should give him enough time to get back to his best form ahead of the 2024 season.
