Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall
D+
ValueB+
NeedB

FutureA+
Moore is the Bengals' new face under center. Grade: D+. Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Bengals were there to profit. Jermod McCoy, the No. 9 name on the board, should have been long gone before No. 198.
Whatever Dante Moore becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.
The Thieneman pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The Bailey pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with running back still on the board.
That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Dante Moore
In pick 7 they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick10
Rnd1
Spencer Fano
In the 10th overall pick they get a building block for the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick29
Rnd1
Dillon Thieneman
In the 29th pick they get a downhill hitter at safety, though the board says they badly overpaid. Need was not the driver here.
Pick38
Rnd2
Kenyon Sadiq
They read the board right and Kenyon Sadiq was the payoff at pick 38. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick47
Rnd2
Cashius Howell
Circle this one: Cashius Howell at slot 47 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick74
Rnd3
Kayden McDonald
They robbed the room for Kayden McDonald here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick109
Rnd4
David Bailey
A curious use of the 109th overall pick. Running back needed the pick; an edge rusher in David Bailey did not.
Pick120
Rnd4
Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson at No. 120 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick159
Rnd5
Nyck Harbor
They will replay Nyck Harbor at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick178
Rnd5
Jake Slaughter
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jake Slaughter in pick No. 178, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick189
Rnd6
LT Overton
Somehow LT Overton was still sitting there in pick 189, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick198
Rnd6
Jermod McCoy
Jermod McCoy at Round 6, Pick 18 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick200
Rnd6
Sonny Styles
They barely believed it either: Sonny Styles still on the board at No. 200. It fills a real need, too.
Pick225
Rnd7
Taurean York
The board fumbled Taurean York all the way to slot 225, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick234
Rnd7
Trevor Goosby
Trevor Goosby in the 234th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
