Overall B

Brooks should have been long gone. The Bengals pounced, and earned a B.

When a board-topper like Tahj Brooks slides to the 154th pick, you do not overthink it, and the Bengals did not. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. Job largely done: tight end settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick17 Rnd1 Walter Nolen

In pick No. 17 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.

Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Watts

Xavier Watts at No. 49 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.

Pick81 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger

Carson Schwesinger in pick 81 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.

Pick118 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce

They did well to land Hollin Pierce in slot 118, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.

Pick154 Rnd5 Tahj Brooks

They robbed the room for Tahj Brooks here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
