The Cincinnati Bengals approach the 2025 NFL draft with six selections. There, the Bengals figure to attack a mixture of needs on both sides of the ball. Both guard spots in front of Joe Burrow appear to need addressed, while the defense has needs at every level while it resets under the guidance of a new coordinator.

Many of the safeties in this year’s draft lack the speed and range to be true center-fielders in the secondary. At best, they are Jordan Battle, and the Bengals have a perfectly good Jordan Battle already.
