Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Bengals spent the Round 3 slot on Brian Parker II, a name the board had a full 33 spots lower. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. The Brazzell II pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Chris Brazzell II in pick 41. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Brian Parker II at Round 3, Pick 8 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
