Milroe is the Bengals' new face under center. Grade: F.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Bengals started one anyway for Jalen Milroe, 78 picks ahead of schedule. There is no dressing it up: a F.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The whole projection now runs through Jalen Milroe; hit there and everything else looks smarter.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with cornerback still staring back at them.

Pick17 Rnd1 Jalen Milroe

In No. 17 they get a long-term answer under center, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.

Pick49 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson

They paid sticker price for TreVeyon Henderson in the 49th overall pick, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.

Pick81 Rnd3 Antwaun Powell-Ryland

A swing that ignored the value entirely, Antwaun Powell-Ryland well ahead of where he belonged. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.

Pick119 Rnd4 Jake Majors

They paid a round early for Jake Majors in Round 4, Pick 17, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.

Pick153 Rnd5 Logan Brown

A slide stopped in pick 153, with Logan Brown worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
