The Bengals cashed the board's mistake on Singleton: B-. The board owed the Bengals one, and it paid up: Nicholas Singleton, the No. 100 name on the board, sitting there at pick No. 192 like a gift left on the doorstep. The bottom line is a respectable B-.
Every board in the league had Wedig lower, and that gap is the story. The Burch pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with linebacker and quarterback still on the board.
Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
Jack Sawyer
In pick 19 they get a disruptor off the edge. Need was not the driver here.
Pick47
Rnd2
Dylan Fairchild
They jumped the gun on Dylan Fairchild, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick87
Rnd3
Jordan Burch
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Jordan Burch at edge rusher with linebacker and quarterback open.
Pick117
Rnd4
Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills at the 117th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick120
Rnd4
Elic Ayomanor
Circle this one: Elic Ayomanor at the 120th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick123
Rnd4
DeMonte Capehart
A wild overpay on DeMonte Capehart in Round 4, Pick 22, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick171
Rnd5
O'Donnell Fortune
This one needs a full-page explanation: O'Donnell Fortune in No. 171, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick192
Rnd6
Nicholas Singleton
The board fumbled Nicholas Singleton all the way to pick No. 192, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick195
Rnd6
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at pick No. 195 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick209
Rnd6
Trey Wedig
They reached a country mile for Trey Wedig at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick248
Rnd7
Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool in the 248th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
