Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bengals let Lew fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

Whoever sat across the table from the Bengals should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend.

The Lew pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The Derek Stingley Jr. deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 CJ Allen
CJ Allen in Round 2, Pick 6 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick41 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
They paid sticker price for Caleb Banks in slot 41, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick72 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at pick 72 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick92 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Connor Lew in pick No. 92 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick187 Rnd6 DJ Harvey
A reasonable price with a little left over, DJ Harvey in the 187th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick226 Rnd7 Keyron Crawford
Keyron Crawford at No. 226 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
