Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Bengals.

The Bengals spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Nathaniel Watson, the No. 212 name on the board, in the 237th pick.

The cost of the Jackson reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In slot 18 they get a problem off the edge. More want than need.
Pick49 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at the 49th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick80 Rnd3 Max Melton
Nothing to complain about; Max Melton went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick97 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
They talked themselves into McKinnley Jackson at slot 97, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick115 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
A straight-up fair deal on Blake Fisher at Round 4, Pick 15, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick149 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at pick No. 149 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick194 Rnd6 Tip Reiman
They read the board right and Tip Reiman was the payoff at the 194th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick214 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick224 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at pick 224 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick237 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
You do not let a linebacker like Nathaniel Watson reach No. 237 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick238 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
They reached into another round for Sam Hartman, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
