JGB1969 DRAFTING FOR THEBengals

FutureA+
The Bengals let Moss fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-. When a board-topper like Miller Moss slides to the Round 7 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Bengals did not. Very little went wrong, and the A- is earned.
The Jackson Jr. pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want. The Jackson Jr. pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with linebacker and running back still on the board.
The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Christen Miller
Christen Miller in the 28th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick60
Rnd2
Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks in the Round 2 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick74
Rnd3
A'Mauri Washington
No drama and no debate, A'Mauri Washington went about where he belonged in slot 74. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick92
Rnd3
Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
They bypassed pressing needs at linebacker and running back to take Kenyatta Jackson Jr., an edge rusher that was not the priority.
Pick109
Rnd4
Drew Shelton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Drew Shelton in No. 109. It fills a real need, too.
Pick113
Rnd4
Charles Jagusah
A reach on Charles Jagusah in pick No. 113; the board had better options right there. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick123
Rnd4
Parker Brailsford
No edge and no loss on Parker Brailsford in the 123rd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick128
Rnd4
Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson slipping to Round 4, Pick 28 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick168
Rnd5
Terrance Carter Jr.
Taking Terrance Carter Jr. in pick No. 168 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick188
Rnd6
Dane Key
Dane Key in slot 188 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick201
Rnd6
Xavier Nwankpa
Circle this one: Xavier Nwankpa at the 201st pick is a fall that decides a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick223
Rnd7
Isaiah Jatta
Isaiah Jatta at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick242
Rnd7
Miller Moss
The board fumbled Miller Moss all the way to pick 242, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
