Overall

FutureB-
The Bengals bled value on every deal, hence the D-. The Bengals torched the value chart for Evan Anderson, taking him 58 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. It is not that Eboigbe is a bad player; it is that the Bengals had louder needs to answer first.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Landing Harden that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a true top target, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27
Rnd1
Amarius Mims
In pick No. 27 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
Pick60
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
They did well to land Payton Wilson in slot 60, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick71
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
They paid up for Brandon Dorlus at No. 71 when waiting would have done the job. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick72
Rnd3
Blake Corum
The board had cheaper options than Blake Corum at the 72nd pick, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick88
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
Somehow Patrick Paul was still sitting there in the 88th overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick97
Rnd3
Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan in No. 97 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick115
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at pick No. 115 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick128
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback to take Justin Eboigbe, an edge rusher that was not the priority.
Pick149
Rnd5
Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in pick 149 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick194
Rnd6
Erick All
A reach on Erick All in Round 6, Pick 19; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick224
Rnd7
Evan Anderson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Evan Anderson this early at the 224th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick237
Rnd7
Myles Harden
Circle this one: Myles Harden at the 237th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
