Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bengals a B-.

Some picks age like wine; Abdul Carter at the 73rd pick will need to, sitting 43 spots clear of his grade. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They banked enough surplus on Davis to cover a lot of smaller sins.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 4th pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Booker at No. 35, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick73 Rnd3 Abdul Carter
Abdul Carter at pick 73 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick109 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Value with a capital V on Tacario Davis in pick No. 109, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick145 Rnd5 Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. at the Round 5 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick181 Rnd6 Logan Parr
A big swing on Logan Parr at the 181st overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick219 Rnd7 Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell in the 219th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
