Mock Draft: Bengals Trade Tee Higgins, Land Top Wide Receiver

CINCINNATI — Tee Higgins officially requested a trade one week ago. Could the Bengals use him to move up in the 2024 NFL Draft?

Pro Football Network has Cincinnati trading up to the No. 6 pick and taking Washington wide receiver Rome Odunze in their latest mock draft. The Bengals send Higgins, their 2024 first rounder (No. 18) and their 2025 second round pick to the Giants in exchange for the sixth pick.

This lines up with a scenario we wrote about two weeks ago. The Bengals may be temped to deal Higgins if it meant adding an elite prospect in this year’s draft, especially a high-end receiver like Odunze.

A trade is still unlikely, but it’s fun to think about. Check out Pro Football Network’s entire mock draft below:
