Grand theft in the 115th pick: the Bengals steal Irving and grade out a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Bengals were there to profit. Bucky Irving, the No. 93 name on the board, should have been long gone before Round 4, Pick 15.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Reaching for Cole left real value on the table behind him.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In No. 18 they get an island corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
They took Patrick Paul at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick80 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
They paid sticker price for Christian Mahogany in pick 80, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick115 Rnd4 Bucky Irving
They barely believed it either: Bucky Irving still on the board at pick No. 115. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick151 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson in the 151st overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at the 173rd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee at Round 6, Pick 21 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick238 Rnd7 Myles Cole
A reach on Myles Cole in slot 238; the board had better options right there. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick254 Rnd7 Chad Lindberg
They did well to land Chad Lindberg in slot 254, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
