Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bengals for Robertson: B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Sawyer Robertson tumbling to the Bengals in the Round 7 slot is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

Spending an early pick on safety with tight end, wide receiver and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
They read the board right and Caleb Downs was the payoff at slot 10. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick45 Rnd2 Quincy Rhodes Jr.
No drama and no debate, Quincy Rhodes Jr. went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 13. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick74 Rnd3 Will Lee III
They paid sticker price for Will Lee III in the 74th pick, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick109 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
A tidy little value on Harold Perkins Jr. in No. 109, a step better than break-even. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick114 Rnd4 Earl Little Jr.
They bypassed pressing needs at tight end, wide receiver and other spots to take Earl Little Jr., a safety that was not the priority.
Pick153 Rnd5 Iapani Laloulu
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Iapani Laloulu. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick176 Rnd5 Zane Durant
They paid up for Zane Durant at pick No. 176 when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick189 Rnd6 Rayshaun Benny
A premium they did not need to pay, Rayshaun Benny a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick198 Rnd6 Tree Babalade
A conviction pick on Tree Babalade at pick No. 198 that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick225 Rnd7 Sawyer Robertson
Steal is underselling it; Sawyer Robertson at slot 225 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
