The Bengals cashed the board's mistake on Heldt: B+. The rest of the league will want that one back. Will Heldt tumbling to the Bengals in No. 226 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick10
Rnd1
Leonard Moore
In pick 10 they get a sticky cover corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick23
Rnd1
Matayo Uiagalelei
In the Round 1 slot they get juice off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick41
Rnd2
Cayden Green
Somehow Cayden Green was still sitting there in the 41st pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick110
Rnd4
Terrance Carter Jr.
Terrance Carter Jr. in pick No. 110 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick197
Rnd6
Raylen Wilson
You do not let a linebacker like Raylen Wilson reach No. 197 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick226
Rnd7
Will Heldt
Will Heldt at slot 226 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
