Best value of the weekend goes to the Bengals for Smith-Wade: B.

Somebody in Round 7, Pick 4 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bengals sat still while Chau Smith-Wade, the No. 175 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at pick 49 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick80 Rnd3 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at No. 80 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick97 Rnd3 Andru Phillips
Taking Andru Phillips in pick No. 97 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
They read the board right and Jalen McMillan was the payoff at slot 118. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Erick All
They robbed the room for Erick All here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick194 Rnd6 Decamerion Richardson
Decamerion Richardson in the 194th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
A straight-up fair deal on Jase McClellan at the 214th pick, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick224 Rnd7 Chau Smith-Wade
Somehow Chau Smith-Wade was still sitting there in pick No. 224, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick237 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
The board had Tylan Grable higher than the 237th pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
