Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Bengals got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Bengals, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. A D- that will need time and luck to look better.

The cost of the Proctor reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

On value alone, Coleman makes the weekend a net positive. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and linebacker is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick 23 they get a building block for the line at fair value.
Pick31 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at the 49th pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick63 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley slipping to pick No. 63 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick80 Rnd3 Cade Stover
Cade Stover in the 80th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick86 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
The board had cheaper options than Leonard Taylor III at No. 86, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick114 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
No drama and no debate, Tyler Davis went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 14. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick148 Rnd5 Kalen King
Kalen King is a better player than slot 148 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick193 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor in pick 193 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick208 Rnd6 Erick All
By-the-book stuff, Erick All at pick No. 208 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick214 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
They liked Frank Gore Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in the 214th pick. The roster fit checks out.
