FutureA-
The Bengals let Ingram-Dawkins fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-. When a board-topper like Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins slides to pick 226, you do not overthink it, and the Bengals did not. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Bengals paired the rookies with proven help, Myles Bryant leading the way.
The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.
Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.
Pick Analysis
Pick37
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
Somehow Tyler Warren was still sitting there in pick 37, and they pounced on premier tight end value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick66
Rnd3
Donovan Ezeiruaku
Value with a capital V on Donovan Ezeiruaku in pick No. 66, a genuine coup. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick81
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge slipping to the 81st overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick119
Rnd4
Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips in slot 119 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick153
Rnd5
Quincy Riley
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 5 slot with a little surplus value in Quincy Riley. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick180
Rnd6
Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson at Round 6, Pick 4 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick193
Rnd6
Ollie Gordon II
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ollie Gordon II at No. 193 is the proof. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick213
Rnd6
Vernon Broughton
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at the 213th pick is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick226
Rnd7
Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins in slot 226 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick236
Rnd7
R.J. Mickens
R.J. Mickens at pick 236 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
