Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bengals for Orange: B-.

Somebody in the 110th pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bengals sat still while Domonique Orange, the No. 78 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The cost of the Cuevas reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Spencer Fano
In No. 10 they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Joshua Josephs
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Joshua Josephs. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick72 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
They read the board right and Omar Cooper Jr. was the payoff at pick No. 72. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick110 Rnd4 Domonique Orange
Domonique Orange at Round 4, Pick 10 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick189 Rnd6 Domani Jackson
A cornerback of that caliber at the 189th pick is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick199 Rnd6 Dalton Johnson
Dalton Johnson at pick 199 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick221 Rnd7 Dane Key
Dane Key at slot 221 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick226 Rnd7 Josh Cuevas
A big swing on Josh Cuevas at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
