PFF Draft Grades

[NATI BENGALS]

We really crushed this draft. We needed to do some serious roster construction. And I think we did.

RT of the future and Trent Brown insurance. Fixed our need for long term RT.
A couple DTs that very well might be a future starting tandem. Fixed our DT depth.
Stole the top talent out of Alabama that won a national championship with Georgia and was the leading receiver on the team that also had McConkey and AD Mitchell. Fixed our need for more premier WR talent.
Added two guys that could be complete TEs. Fixed our TE depth.
Hendrickson threatens to retire so that threw a curveball. I really wanted a LB but DE became a higher priority so I’m not mad at adding a super athletic SEC pass rusher as an insurance policy late in the draft. Fixed our need for DE depth. On top of Trey being a buttface Sample and Ossai are free agents next year.
Two competitive versatile DBs that Lou loves. Fixing our DB depth.
A C that can keep the QB clean. Karras and Hill are free agents next year.

We had our starters pretty much locked and loaded heading into the draft. I’m 100% behind how they used the draft to try to build a team for prolonged success.
