Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
Larceny in Round 7, Pick 17 lands the Bengals a B, Rosemy-Jacksaint and all.

The board owed the Bengals one, and it paid up: Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint, the No. 195 name on the board, sitting there at pick No. 237 like a gift left on the doorstep. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The cost of the Fisher reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
No edge and no loss on Edgerrin Cooper in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick56 Rnd2 DJ James
DJ James at slot 56 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick80 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
They took Michael Hall Jr. at par in the 80th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick97 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at the 97th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick115 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis at No. 115 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick149 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
A straight-up fair deal on Luke McCaffrey at pick No. 149, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan in pick 194 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick214 Rnd6 Tanner McLachlan
Good price on Tanner McLachlan in the 214th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick224 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace in slot 224 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick237 Rnd7 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick238 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Sam Hartman. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
