Report: Bengals Won't Trade No. 1 Overall Pick in NFL Draft Amid Dolphins Rumors

The Cincinnati Bengals have circled in on the prospect they want to draft No. 1 overall and no team can talk them out of it, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport: 

While the Bengals are largely expected to select LSU quarterback Joe Burrow on Thursday night, Rapoport noted multiple teams have inquired about the trading for the first pick to no avail. However, Cincinnati intends to make its selection as scheduled.

Trade talk among the top three picks had been heating up lately—or at least the reports of the talks have. 

On Wednesday, Fox Sport's Jay Glazer noted Washington had received significant interest in the No. 2 pick with the Atlanta Falcons among teams eager to move up to grab defensive end Chase Young from Ohio State. Like the Bengals, Washington couldn't be enticed.

The Miami Dolphins have also been active in looking to move around their picks, but they have a bit more room to maneuver with three selections in the first round including No. 5 overall. On Thursday, ESPN's Adam Schefter noted Miami had even inquired about moving up to No. 1 overall but the Bengals refused. 

Cincinnati instead is entirely focused on Burrow. 

Bengals president Mike Brown has already informally welcomed the LSU quarterback to the franchise, per Schefter, having sent Burrow and his family personalized jerseys and a letter stating how excited they are to build a championship football team with Burrow as the cornerstone. 

That leaves plenty of speculation over what will happen starting with the No. 3 pick. Detroit has also fielded trade calls and there could be a team that looks to snag quarterback Justin Herbert before the Dolphins or Los Angeles Chargers have an opportunity to do so.

There may very well be plenty of trade action to come in the first round, it just won't include the No. 1 overall pick.
