Larceny in the Round 6 slot lands the Bengals a B-, Harvey and all.

Thirty-one other rooms let RJ Harvey slide, and the Bengals were the ones holding the card at the 193rd pick. Highway robbery.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. Every board in the league had Ransom lower, and that gap is the story.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
Mykel Williams at the 17th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick49 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
The board had cheaper options than Donovan Jackson at the 49th pick, and it noticed. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick81 Rnd3 Lathan Ransom
They reached a country mile for Lathan Ransom at pick No. 81, and the board is aghast. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick119 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
You do not let a wide receiver like Tez Johnson reach the Round 4 slot and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick153 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at Round 5, Pick 15 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick193 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
Circle this one: RJ Harvey at slot 193 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
