Grade The Draft

[bk42]

I like it - I was hopeful the Bengals might trade up in rd 1 (especially with receivers not going until the 20's in rd 1). But Myles Murphy should contribute this year and be a key part of their future. Turner and Battle may be more depth pieces for this year but will be valuable going forward for the Bengals. They have some good draft capital invested in CB and S - hopefully its pays off for them (mostly rookie contracts at S and CB so they can pay the contracts of Burrow, Chase and more).

I really like the Charlie Jones and Chase Brown picks - they should contribute some this year wile potentially taking on bigger roles in the future.

And no offensive lineman drafted this year but I'll take that as their confidence in Carman and Volson (or maybe their confidence in Williams or LC at RT this year).
