Day 3 was probably the best day for the Bengals in terms of value for their picks.
I really like Rivers as a backup with versatility across the line, and I think Brooks can develop into a quality pairing with Brown.
Carter was good value at LB in the 4th too.
The only downside of this 3rd day was it showed we didn't need to reach on Knight to get a LB worthy of playing time as a rookie.
Imagine if we took Ratledge instead of Knight, our draft could have been Stewart, Ratledge, Watts, Carter, Rivers, Brooks. That would have been a solid B draft.
With the way it is now, I'd give it a C.
