Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bengals a B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Oluwafemi Oladejo; the Bengals did not wait, grabbing him 79 spots ahead at pick No. 154. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

However the rest shakes out, Emmanwori at that price is a win they earned. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge, though they paid up to get him.
Pick49 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Taking Nick Emmanwori in the 49th pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick81 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Good price on Omarr Norman-Lott in No. 81, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
A reach for Jeffrey Bassa in slot 118; a little patience would have been rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick154 Rnd5 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Value said wait; Oluwafemi Oladejo in pick 154 says they were not listening. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick195 Rnd6 Corey Kiner
Corey Kiner at the 195th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
