Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bengals, and a B- to prove it.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Bengals started one anyway for Mohamed Kamara, 36 picks ahead of schedule. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
They paid sticker price for Byron Murphy II in No. 18, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick49 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kingsley Suamataia. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick80 Rnd3 Renardo Green
Renardo Green at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick97 Rnd3 Mohamed Kamara
A big swing on Mohamed Kamara at slot 97, well ahead of any board in the building. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick115 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Nothing to complain about; Braelon Allen went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick149 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
They reached into another round for Layden Robinson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick194 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Cornelius Johnson in the 194th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick214 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace in pick No. 214 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace in pick 224 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick237 Rnd7 Dominique Hampton
Dominique Hampton at Round 7, Pick 17 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
