Wally_14 DRAFTING FOR THEBengals

Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall

FutureB
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Bengals. The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named linebacker, a need the Bengals walked right past.
The Frost pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The Holker reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.
Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The phones were busy but the ledger stayed level.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Jordan Morgan
In the 27th pick they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick48
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
A conviction pick on T'Vondre Sweat at Round 2, Pick 16 that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick68
Rnd3
Caelen Carson
No edge and no loss on Caelen Carson in pick No. 68; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick80
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brenden Rice. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick91
Rnd3
McKinnley Jackson
They paid sticker price for McKinnley Jackson in No. 91, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick116
Rnd4
Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker at the 116th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick127
Rnd4
Cade Stover
Cade Stover at slot 127 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick164
Rnd5
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick173
Rnd5
Tyler Batty
Tyler Batty at the 173rd overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick254
Rnd7
Aaron Frost
Value with a capital V on Aaron Frost in slot 254, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
