Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bengals: B-.

The Bengals looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Kalil Alexander at Round 7, Pick 10 regardless, 38 picks early. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. With cornerback, tight end and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on edge rusher is the choice that costs them.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 T.J. Parker
In No. 10 they get a bendy edge with upside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick41 Rnd2 Ja'Kobi Lane
Ja'Kobi Lane at the 41st pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick74 Rnd3 A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington at slot 74 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick109 Rnd4 Mikail Kamara
A curious use of Round 4, Pick 9. Cornerback, tight end and other spots needed the pick; an edge rusher in Mikail Kamara did not.
Pick189 Rnd6 Monroe Mills
A clean, defensible pick in the 189th overall pick with a little surplus value in Monroe Mills. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick198 Rnd6 Bud Clark
Bud Clark in pick No. 198 is fair value, right on his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick225 Rnd7 Kalil Alexander
They reached a country mile for Kalil Alexander at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
