The virtual NFL Draft is not a popular proposition among a lot of NFL executives, but the Cincinnati Bengals don’t seem to be going along with that.
Coach Zac Taylor said in a conference call Wednesday that he’s “excited” about the virtual draft and thinks the team is ready.
“I think our guys have really embraced it and done a good job of adjusting,” Taylor said, via Charean Williams of ProFootballTalk. “We’re excited to see what the draft looks like this way. I know there are some people uneasy around the league about it, but I’m excited to see how it all plays out and what it looks like and who can adjust the best.”
This does not seem to be the prevailing mood about the draft, but Taylor and the Bengals are making the best of it. It may help that they have the first overall pick and likely know what they’re doing with it, but it won’t help them further down the board.
