FutureD
The Bengals let Oladapo fall and pounced. Final grade: B. The Bengals spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Kitan Oladapo, the No. 156 name on the board, in No. 219. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick49
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jordan Morgan in slot 49. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick80
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
They took Brandon Dorlus at par in the 80th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick86
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at pick 86 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick97
Rnd3
Cam Hart
Cam Hart in the Round 3 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick115
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in the 115th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick124
Rnd4
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
A slide stopped in Round 4, Pick 24, with Jarvis Brownlee Jr. worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick127
Rnd4
Ainias Smith
They paid sticker price for Ainias Smith in pick No. 127, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick211
Rnd6
Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould at No. 211 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick214
Rnd6
Tahj Washington
The board fumbled Tahj Washington all the way to No. 214, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick219
Rnd6
Kitan Oladapo
You do not let a safety like Kitan Oladapo reach slot 219 and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick245
Rnd7
Keaton Bills
Value with a capital V on Keaton Bills in Round 7, Pick 25, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick255
Rnd7
Trey Knox
Trey Knox in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
