The Cincinnati Bengals have faced a disappointing end to their season, officially eliminated from playoff contention. As a result, they now hold the No. 17 pick in the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft, marking their earliest selection since 2021 when they picked fifth overall. Last year, the Bengals selected right tackle Amarius Mims with the No. 18 pick.

The 2025 NFL Draft order is shaping up, with the Titans, Browns, Giants, Patriots, and Jaguars taking the top five spots. The Bengals will be looking to make significant changes, including potential adjustments to their coaching staff, as they regroup after this season.
