Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Bengals: C+.

Some picks age like wine; Joshua Braun at pick 41 will need to, sitting 211 spots clear of his grade. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.

They banked enough surplus on Coleman to cover a lot of smaller sins. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In No. 10 they get a rangy last line of defense, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick41 Rnd2 Joshua Braun
Joshua Braun at the 41st pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick72 Rnd3 Chandler Rivers
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Chandler Rivers well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick110 Rnd4 Dijon Johnson
Dijon Johnson at pick No. 110 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jonah Coleman
Somehow Jonah Coleman was still sitting there in pick 187, and they pounced on premier running back value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick197 Rnd6 Cole Payton
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cole Payton this early at Round 6, Pick 18. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick226 Rnd7 Cyrus Allen
Steal is underselling it; Cyrus Allen at the 226th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
