Bleacher Report fails in attempting to grade Bengals’ 2018 undrafted class

As minicamp tryouts wrap up and training camp inch closer, the Bengals have made some roster moves to round out their 90-man roster. After drafting 11 players in April, the Bengals have signed another 14 undrafted free agents.

Finding free agents who can become solid contributors is an underrated part of building a franchise. The Bengals had six undrafted players on the 53-man roster at one point or another last season, including Vontaze Burfict, Vincent Rey and Ryan Hewitt.

Four of the six were linebackers, a position obliterated by injuries, which goes to show the kind of depth undrafted players can provide.
