FutureB-
The Bengals did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-. The Bengals spent real capital to be 40 picks early on Bryce Foster, and the board is going to hold them to it. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.
That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Robinson.
They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Caleb Downs
Caleb Downs at No. 8 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick39
Rnd2
Kayden McDonald
A slide stopped in the 39th overall pick, with Kayden McDonald worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick70
Rnd3
Colton Hood
Colton Hood in Round 3, Pick 6 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick109
Rnd4
Jaishawn Barham
They jumped the gun on Jaishawn Barham, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The roster fit checks out.
Pick187
Rnd6
Duce Robinson
The board had Duce Robinson higher than slot 187, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick198
Rnd6
Bryce Foster
Value said wait; Bryce Foster in the 198th pick says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick221
Rnd7
Roderick Kearney
This one needs a full-page explanation: Roderick Kearney in pick No. 221, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
