Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Bengals: B-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Bengals took Adepoju Adebawore a full 36 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 David Bailey
David Bailey in the 10th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick41 Rnd2 Dontay Corleone
Dontay Corleone in Round 2, Pick 9 lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
Malachi Fields at pick No. 72 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick110 Rnd4 Monroe Freeling
Monroe Freeling at the Round 4 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick189 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
They paid sticker price for Xavier Nwankpa in the 189th overall pick, and that is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick199 Rnd6 Adepoju Adebawore
They talked themselves into Adepoju Adebawore at pick 199, and the board did not agree. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick226 Rnd7 DJ Harvey
A straight-up fair deal on DJ Harvey at the Round 7 slot, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
