The Bengals cashed the board's mistake on Bech: A. Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Bengals were there to profit. Jack Bech, the No. 95 name on the board, should have been long gone before No. 151.
Every board in the league had Turner lower, and that gap is the story. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.
It is a haul that will look even better come September.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Will Johnson
In No. 17 they get a sticky cover corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick23
Rnd1
Shavon Revel Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Shavon Revel Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick81
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in Round 3, Pick 17 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick87
Rnd3
Deone Walker
Deone Walker in the 87th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick101
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at slot 101 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick117
Rnd4
Danny Stutsman
Circle this one: Danny Stutsman at pick No. 117 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick118
Rnd4
Sebastian Castro
They barely believed it either: Sebastian Castro still on the board at the Round 4 slot. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick123
Rnd4
Shemar Turner
A wild overpay on Shemar Turner in the 123rd overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick151
Rnd5
Jack Bech
Jack Bech at pick No. 151 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
