PFF Bengals FA Grade

[Whatever]

Bengals still have $17 mill in cap, so they have/had room to add another impact starter on OL and/or CB.
I also don't think Hurst was much of an upgrade (if at all) to Uzomah. I think there were better TEs available to get.

With that said, I gave a B, not a C or D. B is good (which is same grade PFF gave). B average in college gets you a good job when you graduate (typically).
Not getting an A is ok.

The question wasn't to grade the entire offseason, just FA. So it doesn't really matter if the draft happened or not. FA is what I graded.
And in my opinion (which I stated in the post you responded to), I gave my reason for not giving an A. I'm going to only give an A if I think everything was perfect.
I'm not into the whole + or - part of the grading, so I didn't give it.
If I did, I would have given B+.

I think that's fair.  I would give the Bengals an A for all the moves they have made besides tagging Bates, but they do have the cap space to make more moves.  In fairness, there's still a lot of good FA's unsigned and there will be cuts coming after the draft, but to be that close to winning the SB and having that much left unspent is an eyebrow raiser.  

While they succeeded in the  main goal of putting an OL in front of Burrow, they really haven't improved in any other position group, just maintained.
