The jury is out on the Bengals. For now, C. You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Bengals did exactly that with Vincent Anthony Jr. in the Round 4 slot.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. The Price pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
The Saka pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with tight end, interior defensive lineman and other spots still on the board.
A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
David Bailey
In No. 9 they get a premier pass rusher, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick44
Rnd2
Anto Saka
Of all the spots to shop, they chose edge rusher. Anto Saka in Round 2, Pick 12 leaves tight end, interior defensive lineman and other spots for later.
Pick75
Rnd3
Malik Muhammad
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Malik Muhammad at the Round 3 slot is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick110
Rnd4
Vincent Anthony Jr.
They bypassed pressing needs at tight end, interior defensive lineman and other spots to take Vincent Anthony Jr., an edge rusher that was not the priority.
Pick148
Rnd5
Jadarian Price
The board had Jadarian Price higher than slot 148, and the running back fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick195
Rnd6
Roderick Kearney
Roderick Kearney at the 195th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick229
Rnd7
Da'Shawn Womack
Da'Shawn Womack at Round 7, Pick 11 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
