FrankCorsi DRAFTING FOR THEBengals
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall
B-
ValueC+
NeedB
TradesB-
FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bengals, and a B- to prove it. The Bengals' one glaring miss is tight end, a need they left exactly as they found it. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.
The Proctor pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick10
Rnd1
Kadyn Proctor
In pick 10 they get a long-term starter on the line, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41
Rnd2
Romello Height
Romello Height in the 41st pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick72
Rnd3
Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter in No. 72 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick110
Rnd4
Bryce Lance
A reach for Bryce Lance in the 110th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick188
Rnd6
Isaiah Nwokobia
A straight-up fair deal on Isaiah Nwokobia at pick No. 188, value and slot in agreement. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick198
Rnd6
DJ Harvey
Good price on DJ Harvey in the Round 6 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick226
Rnd7
A'Marion Peterson
They paid sticker price for A'Marion Peterson in Round 7, Pick 10, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
