Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bengals cashed the board's mistake on Wilson: B+.

The real work happened on the phones. The Bengals fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Wilson. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Dre Greenlaw pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In No. 31 they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in the 49th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick63 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson in pick 63 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick80 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Nothing to complain about; Mike Sainristil went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick97 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
They took Christian Mahogany at par in the 97th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick115 Rnd4 Andru Phillips
They read the board right and Andru Phillips was the payoff at slot 115. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick149 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at the 149th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick194 Rnd6 Erick All
The board had cheaper options than Erick All at No. 194, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick214 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs is a better player than Round 6, Pick 39 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick224 Rnd7 Julian Pearl
You do not let an offensive lineman like Julian Pearl reach pick No. 224 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick237 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
Steal is underselling it; Sheridan Jones at the 237th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick238 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, JD Bertrand in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
