FutureA
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Bengals a A-. There is conviction, and then there is this. The Bengals took Isaiah Davis a full 123 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Landing Mayes that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.
Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.
Pick Analysis
Pick42
Rnd2
Josh Newton
They let Josh Newton come to them and pounced at pick No. 42. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick59
Rnd2
Kingsley Suamataia
A slide stopped in pick 59, with Kingsley Suamataia worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick81
Rnd3
Nazir Stackhouse
No edge and no loss on Nazir Stackhouse in slot 81; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick110
Rnd4
Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at the Round 4 slot is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick117
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in Round 4, Pick 17 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick154
Rnd5
Jordan Burch
They talked themselves into Jordan Burch at the 154th overall pick, and the board did not agree. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick173
Rnd5
Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick185
Rnd6
Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. at pick 185 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick195
Rnd6
BJ Mayes
BJ Mayes in the 195th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick228
Rnd7
Taulia Tagovailoa
A reach on Taulia Tagovailoa in No. 228; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick238
Rnd7
LaDarius Henderson
A reach for LaDarius Henderson in the 238th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick254
Rnd7
Jaylen Harrell
A big swing on Jaylen Harrell at Round 7, Pick 34, well ahead of any board in the building. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
