FutureA-
The Bengals robbed the room for Singleton. Final grade: A-. Somebody in No. 152 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bengals sat still while Nicholas Singleton, the No. 99 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
A straight-up fair deal on Kenneth Grant at the 28th pick, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick57
Rnd2
Kamari Ramsey
Kamari Ramsey in the 57th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick58
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Steal is underselling it; Jihaad Campbell at pick 58 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick81
Rnd3
Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron at pick No. 81 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick87
Rnd3
Gunnar Helm
They read the board right and Gunnar Helm was the payoff at slot 87. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick97
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in No. 97 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick118
Rnd4
Barrett Carter
The board fumbled Barrett Carter all the way to Round 4, Pick 17, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick133
Rnd4
Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra in the Round 4 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick152
Rnd5
Nicholas Singleton
They will replay Nicholas Singleton at the 152nd pick for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick192
Rnd6
DeMonte Capehart
Circle this one: DeMonte Capehart at Round 6, Pick 17 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
