Pro Football Focus, the preeminent sports grading site, has given their grades for every NFL team’s offseason (so far), and the Cincinnati Bengals are among the top of the class, earning an “A.”
“Cincinnati securing the services of Orlando Brown Jr. at tackle was both unexpected and excellent opportunistic work,” PFF’s Sam Monson wrote. “Brown has five straight seasons with a PFF pass-blocking grade of at least 74.4 and helps further solidify the Bengals’ offensive line. Cody Ford adds depth to the group, as well, while the gamble that Irv Smith Jr. can remain healthy is an excellent buy-low gamble.
