The phones sank the Bengals this weekend: D-.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Bengals did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. Put together, it is a D-.

Sinnott has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

On value alone, Allen makes the weekend a net positive.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In the 18th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick23 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In slot 23 they get a double-digit-sack hope, though they paid up to get him.
Pick49 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at the Round 2 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick80 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Johnny Wilson in pick 80. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick115 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
A big swing on Ben Sinnott at pick No. 115, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick151 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
Nice patience on Malik Mustapha, who had no business lasting to Round 5, Pick 15. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick173 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
A running back of that caliber at the 173rd pick is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick238 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
They read the board right and Sheridan Jones was the payoff at No. 238. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick254 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Value with a capital V on Nathaniel Watson in slot 254, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
