Overall B-

ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-

The Bengals cashed the board's mistake on Muhammad: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Malik Muhammad, No. 110, roughly 19 picks past where he belonged. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick10 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson

Jordyn Tyson in pick 10 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.

Pick41 Rnd2 Zion Young

A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zion Young. A minor itch, scratched.

Pick72 Rnd3 Chase Bisontis

Chase Bisontis at the 72nd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.

Pick110 Rnd4 Malik Muhammad

They will replay Malik Muhammad at slot 110 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.

Pick187 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa

Xavier Nwankpa in Round 6, Pick 8 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
