Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Bengals this weekend: B.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Bengals spent pick No. 193 on Donovan Smith, a name the board had a full 77 spots lower. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

That Allen pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jihaad Campbell
In pick 20 they get a three-down second-level presence, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A reasonable price with a little left over, Xavier Watts in slot 49. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick81 Rnd3 Charles Grant
A reach on Charles Grant in the 81st overall pick; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Value with a capital V on Jordan Phillips in the Round 4 slot, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick153 Rnd5 LeQuint Allen
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and LeQuint Allen at No. 153 is the proof. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick193 Rnd6 Donovan Smith
They talked themselves into Donovan Smith at Round 6, Pick 17, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
