Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals won the night they stopped Thrash from sliding. Grade: B-.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named cornerback, a need the Bengals walked right past.

The Thrash value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They are betting Pearl proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

They left with tight end solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a problem off the edge at fair value.
Pick49 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in the 49th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick80 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kiran Amegadjie at the Round 3 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick116 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
No drama and no debate, Sataoa Laumea went about where he belonged in slot 116. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jamari Thrash
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Jamari Thrash in pick 148, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
A tidy bit of business in the 175th pick, where Jaheim Bell graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick196 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
A reach for Julian Pearl in No. 196; a little patience would have been rewarded. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick235 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
No edge and no loss on Trevin Wallace in Round 7, Pick 15; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick252 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
A slide stopped in the 252nd overall pick, with Kimani Vidal worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
