Pitts, the fourth overall pick in 2021, enters the 2025 season in the final year of his rookie deal as a guy who could have one foot out the door. He’s never fully embraced the draft hype or slotting, totaling just 2,651 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns over four seasons.

With the Cincinnati Bengals' 2024 campaign over and 2025 NFL Draft spot locked in, experts from different media outlets have begun making predictions for what Cincinnati will do with its pick. Here's a look at five different expert projections.

The Cincinnati Bengals were expected to be one of the best teams in the NFL, yet they ended up losing numerous one-score games, enough to put them on the bubble and ultimately finish their season prior to the NFL playoff commencing.

The Enquirer's Kelsey Conway reported Friday that the Bengals' search is still ongoing and the team has yet to make a decision on the hire. Anarumo was fired earlier this week after six seasons with Cincinnati.

The Cincinnati Bengals search for their new defensive coordinator is still ongoing and the team has yet to make a decision on the hire, per a source with knowledge of the situation. Rumors of a new hire stemmed from current Bengals safety Daijahn Anthony going on TikTok Live and saying his team hired a new defensive coordinator on Thursday.
