Larceny in the Round 6 slot lands the Bengals a B, Bryant and all. The Bengals did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Cobee Bryant fell into Round 6, Pick 9. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.
That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Mason Graham
In pick 8 they get a wrecking ball inside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39
Rnd2
Landon Jackson
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 2 slot with a little surplus value in Landon Jackson. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick76
Rnd3
Dylan Fairchild
A reasonable price with a little left over, Dylan Fairchild in Round 3, Pick 12. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick112
Rnd4
Jay Higgins
Somehow Jay Higgins was still sitting there in pick No. 112, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick148
Rnd5
Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in slot 148 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick184
Rnd6
Cobee Bryant
You do not let a cornerback like Cobee Bryant reach No. 184 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick222
Rnd7
J.C. Davis
They let J.C. Davis come to them and pounced at the 222nd overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
