Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Larceny in the Round 3 slot lands the Bengals a B+, Paul and all.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Bengals, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Paul.

Every board in the league had Johnson lower, and that gap is the story.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick80 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaylen Wright. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick90 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in pick No. 90 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick116 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson in pick 116 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
Nothing to complain about; Jacob Cowing went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson in the 175th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
