The Bengals let McGlothern fall and pounced. Final grade: B. The Bengals did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Dwight McGlothern fell into No. 194. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Williams has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.
That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick58
Rnd2
Braden Fiske
No edge and no loss on Braden Fiske in pick No. 58; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick88
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at slot 88 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick97
Rnd3
Maason Smith
Maason Smith in No. 97 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick115
Rnd4
Blake Fisher
They took Blake Fisher at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick149
Rnd5
Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker in pick 149 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick194
Rnd6
Dwight McGlothern
The board fumbled Dwight McGlothern all the way to Round 6, Pick 19, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick224
Rnd7
Miyan Williams
Miyan Williams in the 224th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
