Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
Nobody dealt better than the Bengals this weekend: B.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Bengals, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

The Styles reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The Malik Hooker deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
This one needs a full-page explanation: Sonny Styles in the 12th pick, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kamari Ramsey
They took Kamari Ramsey at par in Round 2, Pick 9, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price is a better player than pick 72 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick110 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
A tidy little value on D'Angelo Ponds in pick No. 110, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick150 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
Kevin Coleman Jr. at slot 150 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick177 Rnd5 Kobe Baynes
Kobe Baynes slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick187 Rnd6 Sawyer Robertson
Sawyer Robertson at the 187th overall pick is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick197 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
A straight-up fair deal on Trey Zuhn III at No. 197, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick226 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
Riley Mahlman at the 226th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
