Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
Grand theft in slot 238: the Bengals steal Jones and grade out a A-.

Whoever sat across the table from the Bengals should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.

The Jones pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Williams pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
No edge and no loss on Tyler Guyton in the 49th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick67 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at Round 3, Pick 3 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick80 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
A quiet steal in the 80th pick: Ricky Pearsall for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick102 Rnd4 Max Melton
They liked Max Melton enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 102. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick115 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126 Rnd4 James Williams
They paid sticker price for James Williams in pick 126, and that is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick141 Rnd5 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in pick No. 141 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick151 Rnd5 Moose Muhammad III
By-the-book stuff, Moose Muhammad III at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick173 Rnd5 Miyan Williams
Value said wait; Miyan Williams in Round 5, Pick 37 says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick196 Rnd6 Zion Nelson
Zion Nelson at pick 196 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Austin Stogner
They read the board right and Austin Stogner was the payoff at No. 204. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
Sheridan Jones at the 238th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick254 Rnd7 Donovan Jennings
Nice patience on Donovan Jennings, who had no business lasting to slot 254. A need, and now a little less of one.
