Larceny in pick No. 236 lands the Bengals a B, Sanders and all. The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bengals watched Raheim Sanders slide 89 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most. The back end got a real overhaul.
Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Jahdae Barron
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
The board fumbled Emeka Egbuka all the way to pick No. 49, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick81
Rnd3
Deone Walker
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Deone Walker at No. 81 is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick118
Rnd4
Malachi Moore
A safety of that caliber at pick 118 is the definition of value, full stop. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick157
Rnd5
Jake Majors
They robbed the room for Jake Majors here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick192
Rnd6
Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in slot 192 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick236
Rnd7
Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at the 236th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
