Reheheheheh DRAFTING FOR THEBengals
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall

Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Bengals. It is the swing that defines the weekend: Eugene Brooks in pick No. 244, a good 239 spots before the room expected him.
Leavitt at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Hit on Matayo Uiagalelei and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Matayo Uiagalelei
In the Round 1 slot they get a bendy edge with upside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick56
Rnd2
Jadan Baugh
They will replay Jadan Baugh at pick 56 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick87
Rnd3
Elijah Paige
They jumped the gun on Elijah Paige, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick99
Rnd3
Zereoue Williams
They reached a country mile for Zereoue Williams at the 99th overall pick, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick126
Rnd4
Ian Moore
They talked themselves into Ian Moore at Round 4, Pick 24, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick162
Rnd5
Brandon Inniss
Value said wait; Brandon Inniss in pick No. 162 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick203
Rnd6
Sam Leavitt
You do not let a quarterback like Sam Leavitt reach Round 6, Pick 24 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick244
Rnd7
Eugene Brooks
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Eugene Brooks well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
