For the most part, the draft grades by various publications are positive. Cincinnati went into draft weekend without many holes to fill on its roster. Bengals director of personnel Duke Tobin and his staff were able to target players knowing most won't have to come in and start right away. Outside of first-round pick, Dax Hill, most players in this draft class will play reserve roles to start their careers. Improving depth on the roster was one of the main goals for this franchise.
