Bengals Depth Chart with Every Starter After 2023 Nfl Draft

With the 2023 NFL Draft officially in the books, the offseason is mostly complete. Although there are still a few free agents out there looking for new teams, we now have a mostly final look at each team's roster heading into the upcoming season. For the Cincinnati Bengals, this season looks to be a critical one.

They've come so close to winning it all in each of the last two years but have come up just short. With Joe Burrow and others due for new deals soon, the Bengals need to strike while the iron is hot.

Fortunately for the Bengals, they have a great chance to compete with one of the NFL's best rosters. Cincinnati has a ton of talent all over, especially on offense. The roster looks a little different after this offseason, but it is still very strong nonetheless.

Without further ado, here are Cincinnati's starters at each position following the 2023 NFL Draft.

Quarterback

• Starter: Joe Burrow

No surprise here as Burrow, one of the best quarterbacks in the league, is still the starter here. Burrow is coming off a season in which he threw for 4,475 and 35 touchdowns with only 12 interceptions, finishing as an MVP finalist. The only question is whether or not the Bengals can sign him to a shiny new contract this offseason, or if it will carry on further.

Running back

• Starter: Joe Mixon

On the other hand, this one is somewhat of a surprise. Mixon had a down season in 2022 by his standards and faced legal issues earlier in the offseason, leading many to speculate that the Bengals would move on from the veteran back. However, Mixon is still here and starting for Cincinnati. With backup running back Samaje Perine departing for the Denver Broncos this offseason, Mixon will likely have an even bigger role in 2023.
