Bengals depth chart before 2023 NFL draft

The Cincinnati Bengals changed the depth chart dramatically during free agency, losing players and adding a bunch of new faces in the process.

That depth chart is about to change in a big way again during next week’s 2023 NFL draft.

On paper, the Bengals are expected to add a name at tight end, cornerback, along the offensive line and at a variety of other positions.

For now, we thought it would be fun to step back and take a look at the current depth chart, starting first and foremost with quarterback, another spot the Bengals are almost guaranteed to add another name, either in the draft or free agency right after.

Here’s a positional breakdown of the depth cart right now.
