In my mind, I see that as a Bonus and then see the 4th round pick #115 as maybe Trade bait to go up some in round 1.

Say that 4th round pick can get the Bengals to pick #14. (making sure a Tackle they like is there after pick #13 is called before Trading)

Maybe this gets a Fuaga, Latham or Fashanu.

*Then for me, Xavier Leggette WR in round 2 could be the Boyd replacement in 2024 with a possibility of becoming the TEE replacement in 2025.

**Or others may like different receivers instead of Leggette in the 2nd round or later.

This could be small Trade Up time in my mind.

FWIW, the trade value chart puts Pick 115 at 64 points only.
Combining that with the 18th overall pick would only equate to about the 17th overall pick.
Those Day 3 picks are basically worthless if trying to trade up in the 1st round.
You would need to trade the 49th or 80th overall pick to jump up even a few spots.

18th overall - 900 pts
49th overall - 410 pts
80th overall - 190 pts
97th overall - 112 pts

18+49 = 1310 pts, which would be right around 10th overall pick (1300 pts)
18+80 = 1090 pts, which would be right around 14th overall (1100 pts)
18+97 = 1012 pts, which would be right around 16th overall (1000 pts)
