Cincinnati Bengals

Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Bengals.

Future B-

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named cornerback, a need the Bengals walked right past. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

They will need Miller to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 2 of 8 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.13 · Pick 13 · Keldric Faulk · DE-EDGE · rank 12
Keldric Faulk in pick 13 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor itch, scratched.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Christen Miller · DL · rank 56
The board had cheaper options than Christen Miller at No. 41, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.29 · Pick 61 · Germie Bernard · WR · rank 59
A straight-up fair deal on Germie Bernard at the 61st pick, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
