Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bengals, and a B- to prove it.

Everything else got attention, and linebacker got none. That is a strange way for the Bengals to leave a draft. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
They took Kadyn Proctor at par in the Round 1 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick41 Rnd2 Joshua Josephs
Joshua Josephs in the 41st overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick72 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
Domonique Orange at slot 72 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick110 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bryce Lance. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick187 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
No drama and no debate, Ephesians Prysock went about where he belonged in pick No. 187. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick197 Rnd6 Oscar Delp
They did well to land Oscar Delp in Round 6, Pick 18, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick226 Rnd7 Noah Whittington
A straight-up fair deal on Noah Whittington at No. 226, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
