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

There is a lot to like until you notice tight end is still a hole. The Bengals never got to the one that mattered most. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They are betting Styles proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the Round 1 slot they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Keith Abney II
No edge and no loss on Keith Abney II in Round 2, Pick 9; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
