Nightmare22 DRAFTING FOR THEBengals

Draft Grade — Bengals

Larceny in No. 192 lands the Bengals a B, Singleton and all. The board owed the Bengals one, and it paid up: Nicholas Singleton, the No. 99 name on the board, sitting there at the 192nd overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep.
A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with tight end the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
A reasonable price with a little left over, Walter Nolen in No. 17. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick49
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in slot 49 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick81
Rnd3
Tyler Warren
Circle this one: Tyler Warren at pick 81 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick118
Rnd4
Deontae Lawson
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Deontae Lawson in pick No. 118, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick152
Rnd5
Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick192
Rnd6
Nicholas Singleton
You do not let a running back like Nicholas Singleton reach Round 6, Pick 17 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
