Overall B

ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-

The Bengals let Anderson fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Aaron Anderson, the No. 165 name on the board, stolen at the 187th pick. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They will need Rolder to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick10 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane

In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.

Pick41 Rnd2 Monroe Freeling

They paid up for Monroe Freeling at the 41st pick when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.

Pick72 Rnd3 Dani Dennis-Sutton

Dani Dennis-Sutton in the 72nd overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.

Pick110 Rnd4 Chris McClellan

Value said wait; Chris McClellan in pick No. 110 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.

Pick187 Rnd6 Aaron Anderson

They barely believed it either: Aaron Anderson still on the board at Round 6, Pick 8. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.

Pick197 Rnd6 Jimmy Rolder
