Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Fitzgerald should have been long gone. The Bengals pounced, and earned a B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bengals watched Ryan Fitzgerald slide 32 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Every board in the league had Mills lower, and that gap is the story.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 17th overall pick they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick81 Rnd3 Xavier Restrepo
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Xavier Restrepo in pick No. 81, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
The board had cheaper options than Rylie Mills at Round 4, Pick 17, and it noticed. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick153 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They took Antwaun Powell-Ryland at par in slot 153, which is nothing to complain about. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick193 Rnd6 Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald in No. 193 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
