Overall B-
ValueC NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bengals: B-.

Nobody had Darien Porter this high, and it is not close. The Bengals reached 28 spots to get him at pick No. 49.

The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 17th pick they get a disruptive interior force. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Darien Porter
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Darien Porter. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick81 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
They read the board right and Elic Ayomanor was the payoff at Round 3, Pick 17. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
