Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall D
ValueB NeedA- TradesF FutureB-
The Bengals let Fuaga fall and pounced. Final grade: D.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Myles Murphy in No. 175, a good 44 spots before the room expected him.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Fuaga. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.

They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
By-the-book stuff, Quinyon Mitchell at pick No. 18 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick23 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 23rd pick they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims at slot 49 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick80 Rnd3 Taliese Fuaga
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Taliese Fuaga in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick86 Rnd3 Cade Stover
A straight-up fair deal on Cade Stover at pick No. 86, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick116 Rnd4 Blake Corum
They barely believed it either: Blake Corum still on the board at No. 116. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
They reached into another round for Jordan Jefferson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick175 Rnd5 Myles Murphy
A real head-scratcher, Myles Murphy in the 175th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
