The Bengals checked most of the boxes and earned a B-. The Bengals went off the board in a big way for Gabe Hall, 28 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.
The Mitchell steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Amarius Mims
In slot 18 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value.
Pick49
Rnd2
Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell in the Round 2 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick93
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
No edge and no loss on Gabriel Murphy in pick No. 93; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick97
Rnd3
Jalen McMillan
By-the-book stuff, Jalen McMillan at the 97th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick113
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Matt Goncalves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick115
Rnd4
Kalen King
Kalen King at No. 115 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick149
Rnd5
Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker in No. 149 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick165
Rnd5
Ty'Ron Hopper
A reach on Ty'Ron Hopper in pick 165; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick194
Rnd6
Gabe Hall
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Gabe Hall. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
