Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB
The Bengals let Brooks fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Bengals were there to profit. Jonathon Brooks, the No. 48 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 80th pick.

They are betting Byrd proves the room right and everyone else wrong. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In pick No. 18 they get a blindside protector at fair value.
Pick49 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
Good price on T'Vondre Sweat in pick 49, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick80 Rnd3 Jonathon Brooks
Taking Jonathon Brooks in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick97 Rnd3 Malik Washington
Malik Washington at Round 3, Pick 34 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick115 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
No edge and no loss on Elijah Jones in the 115th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
They paid up for Jaheim Bell at No. 149 when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson slid further than he should have, and slot 194 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick214 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
A tidy bit of business in the 214th overall pick, where Steele Chambers graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick224 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
Tatum Bethune at the 224th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick238 Rnd7 Solomon Byrd
They reached a country mile for Solomon Byrd at No. 238, and the board is aghast. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
