Looking back at the 2018 draft
#1
1st RD pick - Billy Price Center - Bust/back up
No way to sugar coat it but he has been terrible for the first two years of his career. This is clearly a make or Break year for him.

2nd RD Pick Jessie Bates Safety- Long term starter
At his best he is a top 12 safety but at his worst he is in the bottom tear. He has to be more consistent but he definitely has shown the Ability to be a Franchise stall worth at the position.

3rd RD Sam Hubbard Defensive End- Long term starter
Home run of a Pick; he is a do everything type of player who is getting better and better. Plus he is a future  Captain of the team.

3rd Malik Jefferson LB- Bust
Not even on the team anymore 

4th Mark Walton RB- Bust
Not on team anymore

5th Devonte Harris CB- Bust
Not on team anymore

5th Darius Phillips CB- High level Back up/ Borderline starter
Good player that produced last season when given the opportunity with 4 INTs. With Trae out of action it's a giant opportunity for him to solidify himself as a stater

5th Andrew Brown- DT- Backup
He has shown some ability when he plays his natural DT position. However he will be in another tough situation to get playing time this season with the recent signing of Mike Daniels.

7th Logan Woodside QB
Not on team anymore

7th Rod Taylor OT
Not on team anymore


7th Rd Auden Tate WR- Situational player
Any production from a 7th RD pick is good to draft one with as much talent as Tate is exceptional. I'm not quite sure how the Bengals will use him but I'm confident they will.

What I love about this draft- The Bengals drafted two studs in Bates and Hubbard. Both guys will be huge peaces for years to come.

What I dislike- the Middle of the draft has been awful. Having a 3rd pick, 4th Rd Pick, and 5th RD pick not even on the roster after one season is a disaster.

What I Hate- wasting a first RD pick on Price and the trade of Glenn. We could have drafted Derwin James instead and paired him with Bates to form the best Safety duo in the NFL.

All in all- We got at least two long term starters and two capable backups. I think it was a solid draft but it wasnt a great haul like the 2010- 2013 drafts were for us in which we drafted 3 starters in each draft.

Jessie Bates left the Bengals and that makes me sad!
