Draft Grade — Bengals

FutureB-
The Bengals kept it disciplined and banked a B-. The Bengals bet big and early on Dasan McCullough, 54 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.
That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They banked enough surplus on Lance to cover a lot of smaller sins.
They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Rueben Bain Jr.
In No. 9 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick44
Rnd2
Dontay Corleone
Dontay Corleone in pick 44 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75
Rnd3
Domonique Orange
A reach on Domonique Orange in Round 3, Pick 11; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick110
Rnd4
Bryce Lance
A slide stopped in slot 110, with Bryce Lance worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148
Rnd5
Chase Roberts
They read the board right and Chase Roberts was the payoff at the 148th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick195
Rnd6
Cam Calhoun
By-the-book stuff, Cam Calhoun at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick229
Rnd7
Dasan McCullough
They talked themselves into Dasan McCullough at pick No. 229, and the board did not agree. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
