FutureB
The Bengals fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+. The trade table was a mismatch, and the Bengals were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.
For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They will answer for taking edge rusher early while cornerback, linebacker and other spots went begging.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Tyler Guyton
They jumped the gun on Tyler Guyton, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick56
Rnd2
Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus at the 56th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick71
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brenden Rice. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick80
Rnd3
Braden Fiske
No edge and no loss on Braden Fiske in the 80th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick115
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
A want over a need in pick 115: Mohamed Kamara adds an edge rusher while cornerback, linebacker and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick151
Rnd5
Theo Johnson
They took Theo Johnson at par in slot 151, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick173
Rnd5
Jordan Jefferson
A reach on Jordan Jefferson in Round 5, Pick 37; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick196
Rnd6
Kimani Vidal
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 196 with a little surplus value in Kimani Vidal. It fills a real need, too.
Pick238
Rnd7
Matthew Jones
No drama and no debate, Matthew Jones went about where he belonged in slot 238. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick254
Rnd7
Demani Richardson
Demani Richardson slid further than he should have, and the 254th overall pick is lovely value for the safety. A minor itch, scratched.
