Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Bengals.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Bengals reached some 50 spots for Jermayne Lole, and value like that does not grow back. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On value alone, Estime makes the weekend a net positive.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick No. 19 they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II is a better player than No. 49 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick80 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jalen McMillan. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick83 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Michael Hall Jr. at Round 3, Pick 19, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick115 Rnd4 Audric Estime
Value with a capital V on Audric Estime in the 115th overall pick, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
Pick151 Rnd5 Cam Hart
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cam Hart in pick 151. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
They paid a round early for Michael Barrett in the 173rd overall pick, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick196 Rnd6 Javon Baker
They let Javon Baker come to them and pounced at slot 196. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick238 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
A wild overpay on Tanner McLachlan in pick 238, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jermayne Lole
A real head-scratcher, Jermayne Lole in Round 7, Pick 34 is miles ahead of his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
