The Bengals were already in front of the Lions. The Bengals had the #12 pick and Detroit had the #20. What happened was the Bengals swapped 1st round (and 6th for 5th) picks with Buffalo who had the #21 pick. I guess the Bengals felt they could drop back a few spots and still get Ragnow but Detroit snatched him right in front of the Bengals.
What did the Bengals get for dropping back and swapping the #12 draft pick with Buffalo's #21? Cordy Glenn.
Buffalo ended up taking that #12 pick they got from the Bengals, swapped again with Tampa Bay to get Tampa's #7 pick. With the #7 pick Buffalo then drafted Josh Allen. That was some good maneuvering on Buffalo's part to go from #21 to #12 to #7 although they did need to also trade two second round picks too.
Tampa Bay took the #12 pick which initially belonged to the Bengals and drafted Vita Vea in the Bengals original draft spot.
