Grading Bengals’ trade with Patriots and selection of Jackson Carman

All day, fans were trying to wrap their mind around which offensive lineman the Cincinnati Bengals were going to take with the No. 38 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. After Ja’Marr Chase was taken in the first round, the immediate next need is on the offensive line.

It turned out the Bengals didn’t actually make that pick but rather swapped three picks for one in a trade with the New England Patriots, snagging two fourth-round picks while trading back eight spots in the second round.

The Patriots were given the rights to defensive interior lineman Christian Barmore.
