Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Bengals a B.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Bengals, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

The cost of the Eboigbe reach is exactly the players who went right after him. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Rosengarten. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick No. 20 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at slot 49 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick80 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson at pick 80 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick84 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A premium they did not need to pay, Brenden Rice a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick97 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
Value said wait; McKinnley Jackson in the Round 3 slot says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at the 115th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick119 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
They reached into another round for Justin Eboigbe, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick149 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten slipping to the 149th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick194 Rnd6 Erick All
The board had cheaper options than Erick All at the 194th overall pick, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick214 Rnd6 Myles Harden
Myles Harden in slot 214 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick224 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
A reach on Edefuan Ulofoshio in the Round 7 slot; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
They jumped the gun on Jalen Coker, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick238 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
They liked Kimani Vidal enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 238. A need, and now a little less of one.
