Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Bengals looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Boubacar Traore at Round 4, Pick 9 regardless, 22 picks early.

They will answer for taking edge rusher early while cornerback, tight end and other spots went begging. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Keldric Faulk
In Round 1, Pick 10 they get a bendy edge with upside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick41 Rnd2 Elijah Sarratt
They jumped the gun on Elijah Sarratt, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick74 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
They read the board right and Darrell Jackson Jr. was the payoff at No. 74. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick109 Rnd4 Boubacar Traore
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Boubacar Traore at edge rusher with cornerback, tight end and other spots open.
