I think by season's end the Bengals will find themselves picking in the bottom of the first round in the '23 draft. It's time to draft someone to compliment or outright replace Mixon as the feature back.

The trend is most NFL teams don't use a top first round pick on an RB, but I think it's advantageous for the Bengals to consider using a later first round pick. I think talented RBs are going to be available when they pick. Potential players they can draft:

Edit: If Jonah Williams continues to struggle, possibly LT
