The Bengals did enough to get by: C+. The Bengals torched the value chart for Shad Banks Jr., taking him 179 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball. The dealing was even money, start to finish.
Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Princely Umanmielen
Princely Umanmielen at No. 28 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick60
Rnd2
Tre Harris
They went early on Tre Harris in the 60th pick, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick92
Rnd3
Antonio Williams
Antonio Williams in pick No. 92 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick124
Rnd4
Shad Banks Jr.
They reached into another round for Shad Banks Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick188
Rnd6
Jalil Farooq
Value said wait; Jalil Farooq in the 188th overall pick says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick214
Rnd7
Korey Foreman
Korey Foreman at pick 214 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick220
Rnd7
Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander at No. 220 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
