Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
The Bengals kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Bengals reached some 44 spots for Evan Anderson, and value like that does not grow back. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Getting Johnson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
No edge and no loss on Edgerrin Cooper in slot 49; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick80 Rnd3 Max Melton
A reasonable price with a little left over, Max Melton in No. 80. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick90 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
No drama and no debate, Brenden Rice went about where he belonged in pick No. 90. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick97 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at the 97th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick115 Rnd4 Will Shipley
They read the board right and Will Shipley was the payoff at the 115th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick149 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse at the Round 5 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick194 Rnd6 Erick All
A reach for Erick All in the 194th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick214 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
A straight-up fair deal on Garret Greenfield at slot 214, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick224 Rnd7 Cornelius Johnson
You do not let a wide receiver like Cornelius Johnson reach No. 224 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick237 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 237 with a little surplus value in Trevin Wallace. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
A wild overpay on Evan Anderson in Round 7, Pick 18, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
