FutureB-
The Bengals robbed the room for Warren. Final grade: B+. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Tyler Warren, the No. 15 name on the board, stolen at the 49th overall pick.
They will need Watson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick44
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Somehow Nick Emmanwori was still sitting there in slot 44, and they pounced on premier safety value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick49
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in No. 49 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick81
Rnd3
Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at the 81st overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick106
Rnd4
Dylan Fairchild
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dylan Fairchild. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick119
Rnd4
Nohl Williams
No drama and no debate, Nohl Williams went about where he belonged in the 119th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick153
Rnd5
Elijah Roberts
Elijah Roberts in pick No. 153 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick193
Rnd6
JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in the Round 6 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick204
Rnd6
Desmond Watson
Desmond Watson at Round 6, Pick 28 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
