While it's a few weeks away, the 3026 NFL Draft is likely a time for the Cincinnati Bengals to go out and land a top-tier defensive player or two.

After the massive struggles of the defense in 2025, which led to multiple heartbreaking losses, the Bengals have to improve their defense. That's why a defender at No. 10 overall wouldn't be a surprise.

However, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network , the Bengals are hosting an 18-touchdown running back on Notre Dame's Jeremiyah Love on a top-30 visit, opening the door for a running back with the Bengals' top-10 pick. Bengals host Love on pre-draft visit for possible intriguing 10th overall pick "Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love, who has already visited with the # Titans (4th) and # Giants (5th), heads to a visit with the #Bengals later today, sources say. Cincy picks 10th," Rapoport reports.

Love is fully expected to go somewhere in the first round, and very likely to go inside the top-10 picks of the draft. The only questions are who takes him and how high he goes. While the Arizona Cardinals could, in theory, draft him, he's much more likely to be taken by the Tennessee Titans with the fourth pick, the New York Giants with the fifth pick, or the Washington Commanders with the seventh pick.
