The Bengals cashed the board's mistake on Montgomery: A-. The Bengals ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.
That offensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Montgomery pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.
Bottom line, with Caleb Downs leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Caleb Downs
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Caleb Downs at the 12th pick is the proof. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick41
Rnd2
Dontay Corleone
They let Dontay Corleone come to them and pounced at pick 41. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick72
Rnd3
Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott in No. 72 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick110
Rnd4
Jack Endries
Jack Endries at the Round 4 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick197
Rnd6
Tyren Montgomery
Tyren Montgomery in pick No. 197 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick226
Rnd7
Noah Whittington
Good price on Noah Whittington in slot 226, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
