Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall C+
ValueD NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals land in the muddy middle: C+.

The war room fell hard for Jared Wiley, and it showed at pick No. 49: 88 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Amarius Mims. It fills a real need, too.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley in No. 49 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick80 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Johnny Wilson this early at slot 80. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick97 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
No drama and no debate, Khyree Jackson went about where he belonged in pick 97. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick115 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tyler Davis well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick149 Rnd5 Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at the 149th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick194 Rnd6 Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson in the 194th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick214 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick224 Rnd7 Zion Logue
Zion Logue at pick No. 224 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick237 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
They reached into another round for Evan Anderson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
