The Cincinnati Bengals entered the offseason facing the possibility of losing two of their top three receivers to free agency. While they were able to retain one of them, it remains uncertain for how long. To address this potential depth issue, the Bengals drafted Alabama receiver Jermain Burton in the third round.
Burton is expected to compete for the role of the third receiver in a talented Cincinnati offense that features Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. He will have to battle it out with veteran Trenton Irwin for playing time, with Irwin being a better fit for the slot role. However, with his sticky hands, explosive ability, and proven production, Burton has the potential to develop into an excellent number two receiver in the NFL.
Despite some off-the-field concerns, if Burton can keep them in check, this draft pick could turn out to be a great value for the Bengals. Overall, this selection has the potential to be a strong addition to the team.
