Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bengals and Brown: B.

Call it larceny. Sammy Brown sat on the board until slot 110, and the Bengals did not need to be asked twice.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Baker pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The back end got a real overhaul.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Leonard Moore
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 10 with a little surplus value in Leonard Moore. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick41 Rnd2 Trey'Dez Green
Somehow Trey'Dez Green was still sitting there in the 41st pick, and they pounced on premier tight end value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick72 Rnd3 Brandon Baker
Brandon Baker at the Round 3 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick110 Rnd4 Sammy Brown
They robbed the room for Sammy Brown here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick187 Rnd6 Francis Brewu
By-the-book stuff, Francis Brewu at the 187th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick197 Rnd6 La'khi Roland
A reach for La'khi Roland in slot 197; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick226 Rnd7 TJ Metcalf
A top-tier safety at a bargain, TJ Metcalf in pick 226, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
