Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bengals: B.

The Bengals went off the board in a big way for Brett Norfleet, 35 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They will answer for taking safety early while offensive lineman, linebacker and other spots went begging. The Miller pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the Round 1 slot they get a downhill hitter at safety, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick41 Rnd2 Christen Miller
Christen Miller in No. 41 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick74 Rnd3 A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington is a better player than pick 74 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick109 Rnd4 Keon Sabb
A curious use of slot 109. Offensive lineman, linebacker and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Keon Sabb did not.
Pick189 Rnd6 Aaron Anderson
A quiet steal in pick No. 189: Aaron Anderson for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick198 Rnd6 Cam Calhoun
A reach on Cam Calhoun in the 198th pick; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick225 Rnd7 Brett Norfleet
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Brett Norfleet well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
