The Bengals robbed the room for Hadden. Final grade: B. The board owed the Bengals one, and it paid up: Kamal Hadden, the No. 167 name on the board, sitting there at No. 224 like a gift left on the doorstep. No fireworks, but a solid B.
If Glaze pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Amarius Mims
In the 20th pick they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
They went early on T'Vondre Sweat in pick No. 36, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick49
Rnd2
Ja'Tavion Sanders
The board had Ja'Tavion Sanders higher than Round 2, Pick 17, and the tight end fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick80
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at No. 80 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick84
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
No drama and no debate, Dominick Puni went about where he belonged in pick 84. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick97
Rnd3
Johnny Wilson
They reached into another round for Johnny Wilson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick115
Rnd4
Mekhi Wingo
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 4 slot with a little surplus value in Mekhi Wingo. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick149
Rnd5
Delmar Glaze
Value said wait; Delmar Glaze in the 149th overall pick says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick214
Rnd6
Jordan Whittington
A big swing on Jordan Whittington at pick 214, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick224
Rnd7
Kamal Hadden
Circle this one: Kamal Hadden at the 224th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
