Triplets meaning the QB, #1 WR and #1 RB, which for the Bengals is Burrow, Green and Mixon.
Bengals come in at #19. And they are placed ahead of New England (26), LA Rams (24) and Indy (23).

Burrow was ranked 28th, I presume since he's yet to do anything in the NFL. He's ranked ahead of Dwayne Haskins (T30), Sam Darnold (29), Mitch Tribisky (T30) [although I don't believe Tribisky is going to be the Bears starting QB - it'll be Nick Foles] and Tyrod Taylor (T30).
In looking through some of the ranking I was puzzled by the Browns who were placed at #11 with Odell Beckham Jr ranked 7 and Mayfield 19. That's a little too much love for those two head cases who I suspect will predictably implode.

Quote:19. Cincinnati Bengals Score: 63
Quarterback: Joe Burrow -- Rank: 28 (One game: 29 | 2020 prod.: 25)
Running back: Joe Mixon -- Rank: 8
Pass catcher: A.J. Green -- Rank: 13
Burrow played the position at a historically great level last year at LSU. And while the lack of rookie camps and preseason games will presumably hinder the rate at which he adjusts to NFL speed, the No. 1 overall pick has an extremely talented cast of weapons (and an improved O-line) to lean on. None are more important, though, than A.J. Green. The seven-time Pro Bowler, finally healthy after missing 23 games over the past two seasons (including all 16 last year), is a Hall of Fame talent who's about two full season's short of Hall of Fame numbers. His ability to elevate Burrow and rookie wideout Tee Higgins will ripple through the entire unit, giving dual-threat back Joe Mixon the complementary passing game he's so desperately needed since entering the league in 2017. This triplet could make me look real stupid by season's end, especially with 2019 first-round tackle Jonah Williams set to make his debut.
