The Bengals let Eichenberg fall and pounced. Final grade: B-. Somebody in slot 214 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bengals sat still while Tommy Eichenberg, the No. 146 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.
The cost of the Cohen reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Jordan Morgan
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
The board had cheaper options than T'Vondre Sweat at Round 2, Pick 17, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick60
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in the 60th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick80
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara in pick 80 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick97
Rnd3
Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in pick No. 97 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick115
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
A straight-up fair deal on Braelon Allen at slot 115, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick149
Rnd5
Javion Cohen
They reached into another round for Javion Cohen, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick194
Rnd6
Dwight McGlothern
A slide stopped in the 194th pick, with Dwight McGlothern worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick214
Rnd6
Tommy Eichenberg
Taking Tommy Eichenberg in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick224
Rnd7
Evan Anderson
Evan Anderson at slot 224 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick237
Rnd7
Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield at Round 7, Pick 17 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
