Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Bengals let Hood fall and pounced. Final grade: D+.

The board owed the Bengals one, and it paid up: Colton Hood, the No. 26 name on the board, sitting there at No. 197 like a gift left on the doorstep. The process wobbled, and the D+ is where it lands.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In slot 3 they get a downhill hitter at safety at fair value. More want than need.
Pick4 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front. A real need, handled.
Pick10 Rnd1 Spencer Fano
In No. 10 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick31 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In the 31st overall pick they get a seam-stretching tight end, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kayden McDonald
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Kayden McDonald in Round 2, Pick 9, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Dontay Corleone
Dontay Corleone in pick 72 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jermod McCoy
Jermod McCoy at the 110th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick187 Rnd6 Antonio Williams
Antonio Williams in pick No. 187 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick197 Rnd6 Colton Hood
Circle this one: Colton Hood at slot 197 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
