Grade The Draft

[Whatever]

The Draft class was lacking in two of six premium positions (WR, OT) only one of the premium positions had a player that could be considered "Blue Chip". The LB class you could have almost considered and endangered species. Add in all the 6 year seniors and the fact a large part of the skill positions were 10lbs away from being underweight and you have a B- draft class.

The Bengals earned above the average B+ by staying with the strength of the draft class defensive line and defensive back early and had what I considered a couple of steals Myles Murphy and Chase Brown.

Honestly, I wouldn't even give this class a B minus.  Not a good QB class in my opinion.  The RB class was loaded with CoP/3rd down backs, but very thin on bell cow types.  DT was pretty thin.  Outside WR's were virtually non-existent.  IOL wasn't good.  S was weak at the top, but had depth.
