Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA-
Larceny in slot 198 lands the Bengals a A-, Koziol and all.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bengals watched Tanner Koziol slide 30 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up.

The cost of the Hobbs reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Caleb Downs and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In slot 12 they get a rangy last line of defense at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kayden McDonald
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Kayden McDonald reach the 56th overall pick and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick74 Rnd3 Trevor Goosby
Trevor Goosby at pick No. 74 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick109 Rnd4 Brian Parker II
Brian Parker II at the 109th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick112 Rnd4 Julian Neal
Circle this one: Julian Neal at No. 112 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick117 Rnd4 Anto Saka
Anto Saka at pick 117 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick163 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
Fair-plus on DeMonte Capehart, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick189 Rnd6 Max Iheanachor
They robbed the room for Max Iheanachor here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick198 Rnd6 Tanner Koziol
The board fumbled Tanner Koziol all the way to Round 6, Pick 18, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick225 Rnd7 Dane Key
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 225th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick238 Rnd7 Daevin Hobbs
A reach for Daevin Hobbs in the Round 7 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick250 Rnd7 Luke Altmyer
Luke Altmyer at No. 250 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
