Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Bengals put a flag in the ground for Jerry Wilson, 32 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Downs falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get an enforcer at safety at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick44 Rnd2 Connor Lew
Connor Lew in pick 44 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick75 Rnd3 Xavier Chaplin
They took Xavier Chaplin at par in slot 75, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick110 Rnd4 Derrick Moore
They reached a country mile for Derrick Moore at pick No. 110, and the board is aghast. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick148 Rnd5 David Oke
No drama and no debate, David Oke went about where he belonged in No. 148. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jerry Wilson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jerry Wilson this early at the 195th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick229 Rnd7 Smith Snowden
A premium they did not need to pay, Smith Snowden a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
