Baltimore Ravens’ Win Over Green Bay Packers Boosts Cincinnati Bengals’ 2026 NFL Draft Position
The Bengals still have two games left this season, but their 2026 NFL Draft position is becoming much clearer. Cincinnati will pick no lower than 13th in the 2026 NFL Draft following the Ravens' 41-24 win over the Packers on Saturday night in Green Bay.
The Bengals are currently scheduled to pick ninth. They're favored on Sunday against the Cardinals. They'll be favored in Week 18 against the Browns.Oct 21, 2001; Cincinnati, OH, USA; Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Takeo Spikes in action against the Chicago Bears at Paul Brown Stadium. The Bears beat the Bengals 24-0. Mandatory Credit: Matthew Emmons-Imagn Images | Matthew Emmons-Imagn Images Cincinnati has picked 13th overall twice in team history. In 1985 they took wide receiver Eddie Brown. He was a big part of their Super Bowl run in 1988 and won Offensive Rookie of the Year in 1985. The Bengals also picked linebacker Takeo Spikes with the 13th overall selection in the 1998 NFL Draft. Spikes only spent five seasons in Cincinnati, but he was productive. He finished with 100+ tackles in all five seasons, compiling 571 tackles and 14.5 sacks. Both Brown and Spikes were both productive rookies. The Bengals would like nothing more than to get that type of production from whoever they pick in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft.
