Best value of the weekend goes to the Bengals for Moore: A-. The Bengals spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Rod Moore, the No. 65 name on the board, in the Round 4 slot. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want.
It is a haul that will look even better come September.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Gennings Dunker
A tidy bit of business in Round 2, Pick 1, where Gennings Dunker graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick41
Rnd2
Christen Miller
Christen Miller at No. 41 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick74
Rnd3
Romello Height
They robbed the room for Romello Height here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick88
Rnd3
Daylen Everette
They barely believed it either: Daylen Everette still on the board at the Round 3 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick109
Rnd4
Eli Stowers
Taking Eli Stowers in the 109th pick is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick112
Rnd4
Rod Moore
Rod Moore in pick No. 112 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick124
Rnd4
C.J. Fite
They read the board right and C.J. Fite was the payoff at the 124th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick187
Rnd6
Ar'maj Reed-Adams
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Ar'maj Reed-Adams in slot 187, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick189
Rnd6
Terion Stewart
Terion Stewart slipping to the Round 6 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick198
Rnd6
Dane Key
Dane Key at pick No. 198 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick206
Rnd6
Braylan Shelby
They paid up for Braylan Shelby at Round 6, Pick 26 when waiting would have done the job. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick225
Rnd7
Adepoju Adebawore
Adepoju Adebawore in the 225th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick245
Rnd7
Bear Alexander
Bear Alexander at slot 245 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
