FutureB-
The phones sank the Bengals this weekend: D-. The Bengals spent real capital to be 79 picks early on Devin Culp, and the board is going to hold them to it.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Keegan.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 19th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
They read the board right and Tyler Guyton was the payoff at the 36th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick49
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
No drama and no debate, Kris Jenkins went about where he belonged in slot 49. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick67
Rnd3
Cade Stover
They reached a country mile for Cade Stover at the Round 3 slot, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick95
Rnd3
Braelon Allen
The board had cheaper options than Braelon Allen at pick 95, and it noticed. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick116
Rnd4
Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea in pick No. 116 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick133
Rnd4
Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett at the 133rd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick148
Rnd5
Dallin Holker
They liked Dallin Holker enough to skip the value, taking him in the 148th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick158
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
By-the-book stuff, Luke McCaffrey at Round 5, Pick 22 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick175
Rnd5
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They talked themselves into Zion Tupuola-Fetui at No. 175, and the board did not agree. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick177
Rnd6
Myles Murphy
They left a pile of value on the table to take Myles Murphy this early at pick 177. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick196
Rnd6
Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at pick No. 196 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick235
Rnd7
Edefuan Ulofoshio
A reach for Edefuan Ulofoshio in the Round 7 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick252
Rnd7
Devin Culp
A big swing on Devin Culp at slot 252, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
