FutureB
Quarterback settled, Ewers in the fold, and a B for the Bengals. The Bengals spent the pick that matters most on Quinn Ewers, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.
The Ewers reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.
The trade work was a quiet net positive.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Quinn Ewers
In slot 17 they get their quarterback of the future, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick67
Rnd3
Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III in the 67th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick81
Rnd3
Quinyon Mitchell
They read the board right and Quinyon Mitchell was the payoff at pick No. 81. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick103
Rnd4
Christian Haynes
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Christian Haynes in No. 103. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick117
Rnd4
Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. in pick 117 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
