Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bengals: B-.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Bengals walked out of the weekend still thin at linebacker, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Peter Woods
No drama and no debate, Peter Woods went about where he belonged in slot 8. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick39 Rnd2 Caleb Lomu
By-the-book stuff, Caleb Lomu at pick No. 39 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick70 Rnd3 Ian Strong
They took Ian Strong at par in No. 70, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick109 Rnd4 C.J. Fite
No edge and no loss on C.J. Fite in the 109th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. in the 187th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick198 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
Fair-plus on Le'Veon Moss, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jaren Kanak
Jaren Kanak at pick 221 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
