Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals let Cameron fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Josh Cameron slide, and the Bengals were the ones holding the card at the Round 7 slot. Highway robbery. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Every board in the league had Nwokobia lower, and that gap is the story. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In the 10th pick they get a blindside protector at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Zion Young
No edge and no loss on Zion Young in pick 41; it is a wash and a sensible one. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick72 Rnd3 Dontay Corleone
A tidy little value on Dontay Corleone in Round 3, Pick 8, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick110 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. at the 110th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick189 Rnd6 Reggie Virgil
Somehow Reggie Virgil was still sitting there in slot 189, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick199 Rnd6 Isaiah Nwokobia
Isaiah Nwokobia at the Round 6 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick221 Rnd7 Josh Cameron
Josh Cameron in No. 221 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick226 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
Thaddeus Dixon at pick No. 226 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
