It’s never too early to start taking a look at mock drafts and who the Cincinnati Bengals could select in the 2025 NFL Draft.
After earning their highest slot in the draft since 2021 this year and selecting Amarius Mims with the No. 18 overall pick, who could the Bengals select in 2025?
Jeff Risdon of USA Today released a mock with the team picking No. 28 and shoring up the defensive line by selecting Louisville DL Ashton Gillotte.
When Joe Burrow has started more than 10 games in a season, the Cincinnati Bengals have made the playoffs. When he hasn’t, the Bengals have missed the postseason.
He’s clearly the most crucial piece to the Bengals, who finished 9-8 last season but remain among the Super Bowl favorites heading into the 2024 season. But Cincinnati might be in far better shape if Burrow does miss any time this coming season.
Backup QB Jake Browning idled for two-plus years on the Bengals’ practice squad and bench before seeing a single regular-season snap, but when he did, Browning was thrust into the spotlight. The former undrafted free agent ended up starting the final seven games of the most recent season in Burrow’s place, and he more than held his own.
Browning guided the Bengals to four victories and actually led the NFL in completion percentage at 70.4. He also threw for 12 touchdowns, ran for three more scores and averaged more passing yards per start (266.9) than Burrow did (230.9) last season.
Having started more than 50 college games, Browning wasn’t used to sitting and watching others play quarterback ahead of him. But Browning told Sirius XM Radio that he got plenty out of his passive experience in 2021 and 2022, studying Burrow while he took the majority of the snaps those seasons.
