Grand theft in Round 7, Pick 4: the Bengals steal Dixon and grade out a B+. The board owed the Bengals one, and it paid up: Johnny Dixon, the No. 190 name on the board, sitting there at No. 224 like a gift left on the doorstep.
That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Hartman reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.
Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick32
Rnd1
T'Vondre Sweat
In the 32nd pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick55
Rnd2
Kingsley Suamataia
They paid sticker price for Kingsley Suamataia in No. 55, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick64
Rnd2
Cade Stover
A premium they did not need to pay, Cade Stover a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick80
Rnd3
Max Melton
Max Melton in the Round 3 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick97
Rnd3
Malik Washington
Good price on Malik Washington in the 97th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick115
Rnd4
Tyler Davis
No drama and no debate, Tyler Davis went about where he belonged in slot 115. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick149
Rnd5
Kalen King
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kalen King at Round 5, Pick 13. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick194
Rnd6
Jase McClellan
A straight-up fair deal on Jase McClellan at pick No. 194, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick214
Rnd6
Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield in pick No. 214 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick224
Rnd7
Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick237
Rnd7
Tylan Grable
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tylan Grable in Round 7, Pick 17. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick238
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman in pick 238 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
