Grade the 2021 Bengals draft

[Nicomo Cosca]

Absolutely brutal outside of Chase and McPherson. But to their credit there was a handful of truly special players at the top of that draft (Chase, Sewell, Parsons) and they came away with one of them. So it’s hard to call it a complete failure. Still, only yielding one starter in a draft where you’re picking towards the top of each round is pretty terrible.

If they had hit on an OL in the 2nd (Creed, Cosmi, etc) if would have changed things quite a bit.
