Good, not great, for the Bengals: B-.

The Bengals spent real capital to be 62 picks early on Jabbar Muhammad, and the board is going to hold them to it.

Getting Taylor where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
James Pearce Jr. at pick 17 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick49 Rnd2 Dylan Fairchild
The board had cheaper options than Dylan Fairchild at the Round 2 slot, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jabbar Muhammad
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jabbar Muhammad. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick117 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills at No. 117 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Mason Taylor
They will replay Mason Taylor at the 152nd overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick191 Rnd6 Kobe Hudson
Kobe Hudson in slot 191 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
