The Bengals managed to address their two biggest needs in the first two days of the draft by selecting an offensive tackle in Jonah Williams and a linebacker in Germaine Pratt.
In addition to those picks, Bengals fans also got a surprise when the Bengals selected tight end Drew Sample in Round 2. Sample is a capable player who will be a fitting replacement for Tyler Kroft, but the move was not what fans expected at that point.
Before drafting Sample, the Bengals traded back and added a 4th and a 6th Round pick.
