Daddygaff DRAFTING FOR THEBengals

The Bengals kept it disciplined and banked a B-. The rest of the league had time to spare on Que Robinson; the Bengals did not wait, grabbing him 40 spots ahead at pick 153.
Getting Gordon II where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Nick Emmanwori
In the 17th overall pick they get a downhill hitter at safety at fair value.
Pick49
Rnd2
Wyatt Milum
They paid a round early for Wyatt Milum in slot 49, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
Pick81
Rnd3
Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in Round 3, Pick 17 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick119
Rnd4
Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra in the Round 4 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick153
Rnd5
Que Robinson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Que Robinson in No. 153, miles early. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick193
Rnd6
Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in the 193rd pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
