Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueA- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bengals for Winston Jr.: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Kevin Winston Jr. had no business being available in the 119th overall pick, and the Bengals did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most. The back end got a real overhaul.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
They robbed the room for Derrick Harmon here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick81 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at Round 3, Pick 17 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick119 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Kevin Winston Jr. at pick 119 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick153 Rnd5 Logan Brown
A tidy bit of business in the 153rd pick, where Logan Brown graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jarquez Hunter
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jarquez Hunter in slot 193. A need, and now a little less of one.
