The Bengals turned the phones into found money: A-. There is reaching, and then there is Sav'ell Smalls at No. 254. The Bengals jumped the board by 102 and dared it to prove them wrong. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.
On value alone, Newton makes the weekend a net positive. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.
It is not that Randolph Jr. is a bad player; it is that the Bengals had louder needs to answer first.
Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.
Pick Analysis
Pick50
Rnd2
Quinyon Mitchell
They read the board right and Quinyon Mitchell was the payoff at pick 50. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick95
Rnd3
Josh Newton
Steal is underselling it; Josh Newton at Round 3, Pick 32 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick101
Rnd4
Blake Corum
They will replay Blake Corum at pick No. 101 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick115
Rnd4
Darius Robinson
A real head-scratcher, Darius Robinson in the 115th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick120
Rnd4
Keith Randolph Jr.
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went edge rusher with Keith Randolph Jr. while clear needs at interior defensive lineman, wide receiver and other spots sat open.
Pick132
Rnd4
Isaiah Adams
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Isaiah Adams at the 132nd pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick151
Rnd5
LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at the Round 5 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick153
Rnd5
Aki Ogunbiyi
Aki Ogunbiyi in the 153rd pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick158
Rnd5
Christian Jones
They left a pile of value on the table to take Christian Jones this early at pick 158. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick191
Rnd6
Donell Harris Jr.
Value said wait; Donell Harris Jr. in the 191st overall pick says they were not listening. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick204
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at pick No. 204 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick231
Rnd7
Erick All
Erick All at slot 231 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick238
Rnd7
Jordan Magee
The board fumbled Jordan Magee all the way to Round 7, Pick 18, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick242
Rnd7
Dwight McGlothern
A cornerback of that caliber at No. 242 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick254
Rnd7
Sav'ell Smalls
Sav'ell Smalls at pick No. 254 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
