Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB+ FutureB+
Larceny in Round 7, Pick 7 lands the Bengals a B, Gray and all.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Bengals walked out of the weekend still thin at tight end, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Gray. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In pick No. 20 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker. A real need, handled.
Pick50 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku in the 50th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick81 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
A tidy bit of business in No. 81, where Maxwell Hairston graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick119 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at slot 119 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick137 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
A straight-up fair deal on Hollin Pierce at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick153 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
No drama and no debate, Damien Martinez went about where he belonged in pick 153. The roster fit checks out.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
A tidy little value on Jaylen Reed in slot 191, a step better than break-even. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick193 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
A quiet steal in pick No. 193: JJ Pegues for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick223 Rnd7 Joshua Gray
The board fumbled Joshua Gray all the way to pick 223, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
They paid sticker price for Jabbar Muhammad in No. 234, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
