FutureA
The Bengals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-. When a board-topper like Jake Majors slides to the 162nd pick, you do not overthink it, and the Bengals did not. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Reaching for Vann left real value on the table behind him. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Colston Loveland and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick49
Rnd2
Colston Loveland
Taking Colston Loveland in pick 49 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick52
Rnd2
Trey Amos
Good price on Trey Amos in Round 2, Pick 20, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick81
Rnd3
Alfred Collins
They will replay Alfred Collins at pick 81 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick119
Rnd4
Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at the 119th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick137
Rnd4
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
A big swing on Antwaun Powell-Ryland at slot 137, well ahead of any board in the building. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick162
Rnd5
Jake Majors
Jake Majors in the 162nd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick171
Rnd5
Ajani Cornelius
No drama and no debate, Ajani Cornelius went about where he belonged in No. 171. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick175
Rnd5
Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson is a better player than Round 5, Pick 37 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick193
Rnd6
Ollie Gordon II
Somehow Ollie Gordon II was still sitting there in pick No. 193, and they pounced on premier running back value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick207
Rnd6
Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray in the Round 6 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. It fills a real need, too.
Pick211
Rnd6
Addison West
A straight-up fair deal on Addison West at No. 211, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick234
Rnd7
Ja'Corey Brooks
They took Ja'Corey Brooks at par in the 234th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick239
Rnd7
Davin Vann
Davin Vann at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick246
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Teddye Buchanan. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
