Emeritus DRAFTING FOR THEBengals

Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall

FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bengals: B-. The Bengals spent real capital to be 74 picks early on Da'Shawn Womack, and the board is going to hold them to it. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.
Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They banked enough surplus on Banks to cover a lot of smaller sins.
They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Spencer Fano
In slot 7 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick42
Rnd2
Caleb Banks
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Caleb Banks at the 42nd overall pick is the proof. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick73
Rnd3
Caleb Tiernan
They reached a country mile for Caleb Tiernan at pick 73, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick108
Rnd4
Xavier Scott
Xavier Scott in the 108th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick190
Rnd6
Bud Clark
They paid sticker price for Bud Clark in the Round 6 slot, and that is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick204
Rnd6
Pat Coogan
They reached into another round for Pat Coogan, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick226
Rnd7
Da'Shawn Womack
Da'Shawn Womack at pick No. 226 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
