Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals let Coleman fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Keon Coleman tumbling to the Bengals in pick No. 116 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They will need Westover to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They left with tight end solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
The board had Olumuyiwa Fashanu higher than the 18th pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
Pick49 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Steal is underselling it; Troy Fautanu at slot 49 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick80 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
The board fumbled Kingsley Suamataia all the way to No. 80, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick116 Rnd4 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman in pick No. 116 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick148 Rnd5 Javon Baker
Javon Baker at pick 148 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick175 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick196 Rnd6 Tykee Smith
You do not let a safety like Tykee Smith reach the 196th overall pick and blink. They did not. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick235 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
Evan Anderson at Round 7, Pick 15 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jack Westover
Value said wait; Jack Westover in the 252nd pick says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
