FutureB
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bengals a B. Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Bengals spent Round 3, Pick 17 on David Walker, a name most had 75 spots down the list.
They banked enough surplus on Revel Jr. to cover a lot of smaller sins. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
In the Round 1 slot they get a wrecking ball inside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49
Rnd2
Shavon Revel Jr.
Shavon Revel Jr. in pick 49 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick81
Rnd3
David Walker
A real head-scratcher, David Walker in Round 3, Pick 17 is miles ahead of his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick89
Rnd3
Hayden Conner
They left a pile of value on the table to take Hayden Conner this early at the 89th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick117
Rnd4
Rylie Mills
They jumped the gun on Rylie Mills, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick152
Rnd5
Jaylin Noel
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jaylin Noel in the 152nd overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick191
Rnd6
Jack Kiser
They read the board right and Jack Kiser was the payoff at pick No. 191. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
