EDGE. Ohio State. Chase Young. 2. player. 56.

There’s going to be a time soon when the Cincinnati Bengals want to change out quarterback Andy Dalton, and it’s a possibility that takes place in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Same with wide receiver A.J. Green, too, considering his future with the team enters some doubt this season.

That said, the vast majority of Cincy’s troubles last year came on the defensive side of the ball. The Bengals need to upgrade their pass rush, so it certainly wouldn’t hurt going with yet another prolific Ohio State edge rusher in Chase Young.

Young currently sits on Bleacher Report’s Matt Miller’s big board in the No. 1 overall spot, and the Bengals would benefit from landing a player capable of transforming a defense lacking talent at all three levels.
