The Bengals turned the phones into found money: A-. Nobody had Trey Moore this high, and it is not close. The Bengals reached 54 spots to get him at Round 5, Pick 19. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.
On value alone, Stockton makes the weekend a net positive. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Kenyon Sadiq and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick46
Rnd2
Kenyon Sadiq
Circle this one: Kenyon Sadiq at slot 46 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick59
Rnd2
Caleb Lomu
Somehow Caleb Lomu was still sitting there in the 59th overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick74
Rnd3
A.J. Harris
A.J. Harris in Round 3, Pick 10 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick77
Rnd3
Rod Moore
Rod Moore slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick83
Rnd3
A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington in No. 83 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick85
Rnd3
Jaeden Roberts
Nice patience on Jaeden Roberts, who had no business lasting to pick No. 85. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick108
Rnd4
C.J. Fite
By-the-book stuff, C.J. Fite at the 108th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick109
Rnd4
Mikail Kamara
They paid sticker price for Mikail Kamara in the 109th pick, and that is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick115
Rnd4
Nicholas Singleton
You do not let a running back like Nicholas Singleton reach the Round 4 slot and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick154
Rnd5
Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford at Round 5, Pick 14 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick159
Rnd5
Trey Moore
They reached a country mile for Trey Moore at slot 159, and the board is aghast. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick189
Rnd6
Dane Key
Dane Key in pick 189 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick198
Rnd6
Gunner Stockton
Steal is underselling it; Gunner Stockton at No. 198 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick225
Rnd7
Princewill Umanmielen
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Princewill Umanmielen well ahead of where he belonged. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick227
Rnd7
James Smith
They talked themselves into James Smith at No. 227, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick229
Rnd7
Bear Alexander
This one needs a full-page explanation: Bear Alexander in Round 7, Pick 14, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
