FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bengals: B. Nobody else had Derrick Moore anywhere near slot 88. The Bengals did, by 54 spots, and that gap is the whole story. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
The Haulcy pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They will answer for taking safety early while tight end, wide receiver and other spots went begging. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
Christen Miller
In No. 13 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48
Rnd2
Jake Slaughter
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jake Slaughter at Round 2, Pick 16. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick56
Rnd2
Austin Barber
Austin Barber at the 56th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick75
Rnd3
Dillon Thieneman
You do not let a safety like Dillon Thieneman reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick88
Rnd3
Derrick Moore
Derrick Moore at the 88th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick110
Rnd4
A.J. Haulcy
They bypassed pressing needs at tight end, wide receiver and other spots to take A.J. Haulcy, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick124
Rnd4
Jyaire Hill
They took Jyaire Hill at par in slot 124, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick148
Rnd5
Trey Moore
Trey Moore in pick 148 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick195
Rnd6
Tree Babalade
Fair-plus on Tree Babalade, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick207
Rnd6
Daevin Hobbs
Daevin Hobbs at pick No. 207 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick220
Rnd7
Jalon Daniels
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jalon Daniels in the 220th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick229
Rnd7
Jerry Wilson
Jerry Wilson in the Round 7 slot is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
