Cincinnati Bengals 2018 NFL Draft tracker and highlights. The Bengals traded down in the first round. How will they address their roster needs?

The Cincinnati Bengals have had a really quiet offseason thus far, which is about par for the course.

After it was announced they would be sticking with Marvin Lewis as their head coach, the Bengals’ most impactful offseason move was a trade to seemingly help out the Buffalo Bills, when they moved down from the 12th overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft all the way to 21 for Cordy Glenn and a 5th round pick.

Looking back, it was a relatively low price for the Bills to pay to move up that many spots, but the Bengals knew the importance of upgrading their offensive line going into this offseason.

They also re-signed oft-injured tight end Tyler Eifert, and watched as A.J. McCarron took his talents to the Buffalo Bills with a chance of becoming a starter.

What is it going to take for the Bengals to finally make that final leap? Will it be a coaching change? A quarterback change?

There’s no clear answer at this point, but the Bengals need better production out of their top draft picks. Perhaps this year, they will strike gold.

Here’s a recap of their 2018 offseason thus far, as well as each pick in their 2018 NFL Draft class…
