Overall D-
ValueF NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
Not the weekend the Bengals were hoping for: D-.

The war room fell hard for Montrell Johnson Jr., and it showed at pick 153: 250 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. The math is unkind, and the D- follows.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. With cornerback, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on specialist is the choice that costs them.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Ryan Fitzgerald
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Ryan Fitzgerald at specialist with cornerback, interior defensive lineman and other spots open.
Pick49 Rnd2 Bryson Nesbit
They reached a country mile for Bryson Nesbit at pick 49, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick81 Rnd3 Tyreem Powell
Tyreem Powell in pick No. 81 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick119 Rnd4 Kyren Lacy
A big swing on Kyren Lacy at the 119th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick153 Rnd5 Montrell Johnson Jr.
Montrell Johnson Jr. in No. 153 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick193 Rnd6 Phillip Webb
They left a pile of value on the table to take Phillip Webb this early at the 193rd pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
