The Cincinnati Bengals should be pleased with their performance in the first two days of the draft, earning a grade of B+. The Bengals made a total of ten draft picks, including their favorite pick, Amarius Mims, an offensive tackle from Georgia. Despite not playing much in college, Mims has all the qualities of a starting tackle and could be a strong presence on the Bengals’ offensive line if he can stay healthy. This pick solidified their offensive line with a player who has elite potential.
On the other hand, the least favorite pick for the Bengals was McKinnley Jackson, the defensive tackle from Texas A&M. While the Bengals needed depth on the interior of their defense, Jackson may not be the most explosive player. He will likely only be a run-down player, making this pick seem a bit too early in the draft.
The second favorite pick for the Bengals was Kris Jenkins, who adds quality to their defensive line and Jermaine Burton is an explosive playmaker at wide receiver. These picks were also strong choices that should benefit their team in the long run.
In conclusion, overall, The Bengals made strong choices in the draft that should benefit their team in key positions and add depth to their roster in later rounds they picked up players like Erick All
