FutureA-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Bengals a C. The Bengals clearly saw something nobody else did in Montravius Lloyd, taking him 327 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.
The Miller value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The phones were where this weekend was really won. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
With tight end, offensive lineman and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on edge rusher is the choice that costs them.
A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton at pick No. 17 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick42
Rnd2
Raymond Cottrell
This one needs a full-page explanation: Raymond Cottrell in Round 2, Pick 10, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick73
Rnd3
Christen Miller
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Christen Miller reach No. 73 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick108
Rnd4
Suntarine Perkins
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 108th overall pick on Suntarine Perkins with tight end, offensive lineman and other spots unsolved.
Pick163
Rnd5
Antonio Kite
They reached into another round for Antonio Kite, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick170
Rnd5
Montravius Lloyd
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Montravius Lloyd well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick190
Rnd6
Chase Roberts
Circle this one: Chase Roberts at slot 190 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick226
Rnd7
Hank Brown
Hank Brown in No. 226 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
