Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
Larceny in No. 115 lands the Bengals a B, Corley and all.

The board owed the Bengals one, and it paid up: Malachi Corley, the No. 78 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 4 slot like a gift left on the doorstep. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

If Toles pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 24th pick they get a press-man option on the boundary. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They paid up for T'Vondre Sweat at Round 2, Pick 17 when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick56 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton at pick 56 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick80 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in the 80th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick115 Rnd4 Malachi Corley
The board fumbled Malachi Corley all the way to slot 115, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick151 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
A quiet steal in No. 151: Ben Sinnott for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick173 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis at the Round 5 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick196 Rnd6 Christian Jones
They took Christian Jones at par in pick No. 196, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick238 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
A big swing on Dwight McGlothern at No. 238, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jordan Toles
Jordan Toles at pick 254 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
