Overall C+

ValueC+ NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-

Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Bengals.

The Bengals torched the value chart for Tyler Baron, taking him 81 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

The Williams pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They will answer for taking edge rusher early while cornerback, tight end and other spots went begging.

So much rides on James Pearce Jr. that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick17 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.

In pick 17 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. Need was not the driver here.

Pick49 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau

The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went edge rusher with JT Tuimoloau while clear needs at cornerback, tight end and other spots sat open.

Pick81 Rnd3 Tyler Baron

Of all the spots to shop, they chose edge rusher. Tyler Baron in the 81st overall pick leaves cornerback, tight end and other spots for later.

Pick119 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer

Good price on Joshua Farmer in slot 119, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.

Pick153 Rnd5 DJ Giddens

DJ Giddens at Round 5, Pick 15 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.

Pick193 Rnd6 Kyle Williams
