The Bengals cashed the board's mistake on Hart: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Bengals were there to profit. Cam Hart, the No. 180 name on the board, should have been long gone before Round 7, Pick 18.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 JC Latham
JC Latham at the Round 1 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick49 Rnd2 Kalen King
A clean, defensible pick in the 49th overall pick with a little surplus value in Kalen King. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick81 Rnd3 Adonai Mitchell
Nothing to complain about; Adonai Mitchell went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick117 Rnd4 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac in No. 117 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick154 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at pick 154 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jo'Quavious Marks
Steal is underselling it; Jo'Quavious Marks at Round 5, Pick 37 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick195 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Bryce Foster at slot 195. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick238 Rnd7 Cam Hart
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Cam Hart in the 238th pick, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick254 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
They read the board right and Dwight McGlothern was the payoff at slot 254. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
