Objectively speaking...
Backup tackle who spent most of the season on the NFI List.
Backup tackle who is now a FB.
Backup TE who didn't get a catch until Week 12, BUT did pick it up at least a little when he became the starter briefly.
Backup LB who's not done much.
Backup CB who needs work (what 4th rounder doesn't?), but shows promise, also started a game.
Backup DT who can't even get activated.
A TE, S, and WR who I forgot existed and had little/no impact. (Not surprising for late round picks, though.)
If you're not on the field making plays, you can't get a good grade. Nobody gets a good grade for sitting on the sidelines. I also don't give automatic As because someone is wearing a Bengals uniform.
So... Grade: C (C- normally, but bumped it up due to hope that one of the two T will turn into a decent starter next year.)
