FutureA
The Bengals won the night they stopped Jones Jr. from sliding. Grade: A-. The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bengals watched Emery Jones Jr. slide 47 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.
Reaching for Baron left real value on the table behind him. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.
Pick Analysis
Pick49
Rnd2
Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in pick No. 49 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick62
Rnd2
Tre Harris
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tre Harris at Round 2, Pick 30. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick90
Rnd3
Maxwell Hairston
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Maxwell Hairston at the 90th pick is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick110
Rnd4
Deone Walker
Deone Walker in the 110th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick119
Rnd4
Tyler Baron
A real head-scratcher, Tyler Baron in slot 119 is miles ahead of his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick153
Rnd5
Elijah Roberts
They reached into another round for Elijah Roberts, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick166
Rnd5
Emery Jones Jr.
They robbed the room for Emery Jones Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick171
Rnd5
Clay Webb
Clay Webb at No. 171 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick193
Rnd6
Raheim Sanders
Steal is underselling it; Raheim Sanders at pick No. 193 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick211
Rnd6
Cam Jackson
A wild overpay on Cam Jackson in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
