The other part of this rooting guide involves draft position. Teams like the Commanders, Giants and Titans are all ahead of the Bengals in the current draft order. Rooting for those teams to win makes sense. The Bengals should also want the Dolphins, Falcons, Texans, Browns and Vikings to win this week.
