Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Bengals fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-.

The real work happened on the phones. The Bengals fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.

If Inniss pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Sadiq pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The Bengals paired the rookies with proven help, Joe Alt leading the way.

Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 25th pick they get the heartbeat of the defense, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
They barely believed it either: Kenyon Sadiq still on the board at Round 2, Pick 9. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick74 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Connor Lew in pick No. 74 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick189 Rnd6 Raylen Wilson
They reached a country mile for Raylen Wilson at No. 189, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick198 Rnd6 Earnest Greene III
A tidy bit of business in pick 198, where Earnest Greene III graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick225 Rnd7 Brandon Inniss
Brandon Inniss at the 225th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
