FutureA
Quarterback settled, Moore in the fold, and a B for the Bengals. You build a draft on nights like this. Jermod McCoy had no business being available in No. 225, and the Bengals did the only sane thing and turned in the card.
Whatever Dante Moore becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. They are betting Uiagalelei proves the room right and everyone else wrong.
The Bailey pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman and running back. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Matayo Uiagalelei
Matayo Uiagalelei in the 9th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick16
Rnd1
Kenyon Sadiq
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a seam-stretching tight end. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick32
Rnd1
Dante Moore
In No. 32 they get their quarterback of the future at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick40
Rnd2
Avieon Terrell
Avieon Terrell at pick No. 40 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick64
Rnd2
David Bailey
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman and running back to take David Bailey, an edge rusher that was not the priority.
Pick73
Rnd3
LT Overton
They zigged when the board said zag, taking LT Overton at edge rusher with interior defensive lineman and running back open.
Pick108
Rnd4
Dillon Thieneman
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Dillon Thieneman in slot 108, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick152
Rnd5
Cashius Howell
They barely believed it either: Cashius Howell still on the board at the 152nd pick. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick179
Rnd5
CJ Allen
Somehow CJ Allen was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick189
Rnd6
Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson in Round 6, Pick 8 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick198
Rnd6
Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in the Round 6 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick225
Rnd7
Jermod McCoy
The board fumbled Jermod McCoy all the way to the 225th pick, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick227
Rnd7
Eric Singleton Jr.
You do not let a wide receiver like Eric Singleton Jr. reach Round 7, Pick 11 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
