Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bengals: B-.

The C.J. Fite selection is the head-turner. The Bengals reached 33 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Spencer Fano
In the 9th pick they get a long-term starter on the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Ja'Kobi Lane
By-the-book stuff, Ja'Kobi Lane at Round 2, Pick 8 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick73 Rnd3 C.J. Fite
They reached a country mile for C.J. Fite at slot 73, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick108 Rnd4 Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor at pick No. 108 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
