Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB- TradesD FutureB-
The phones sank the Bengals this weekend: C+.

The Bengals spent real capital to be 139 picks early on Jeff Sims, and the board is going to hold them to it.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Downs.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In pick 10 they get a ballhawk on the back end, and a steal at that.
Pick41 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Nothing to complain about; Sonny Styles went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick72 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
Domonique Orange at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick110 Rnd4 Charles Jagusah
They paid up for Charles Jagusah at pick No. 110 when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick188 Rnd6 Josh Moten
Good price on Josh Moten in slot 188, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick198 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
They went early on Bryce Foster in No. 198, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jeff Sims
Jeff Sims at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
