FutureB-
The Bengals cashed the board's mistake on Suamataia: B+. If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Bengals, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.
The Suamataia pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Every board in the league had Johnson lower, and that gap is the story. A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want.
Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton in the Round 1 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick49
Rnd2
Braden Fiske
No drama and no debate, Braden Fiske went about where he belonged in slot 49. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick58
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at pick No. 58 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick80
Rnd3
Jaylen Wright
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaylen Wright. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick83
Rnd3
Kingsley Suamataia
Steal is underselling it; Kingsley Suamataia at No. 83 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick116
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Theo Johnson well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick148
Rnd5
Kalen King
The board had Kalen King higher than Round 5, Pick 12, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick175
Rnd5
Jordan Jefferson
They paid a round early for Jordan Jefferson in the 175th overall pick, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
