Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA-
Nobody dealt better than the Bengals this weekend: B+.

The tape said wait; the Bengals did not. Mason Fairchild went at the 237th pick, a good 99 picks before the board was ready.

The Harden value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at the 34th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick49 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
By-the-book stuff, Adisa Isaac at Round 2, Pick 17 squarely in line with his ranking. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick68 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Malachi Corley at the 68th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick80 Rnd3 Cade Stover
A tidy little value on Cade Stover in slot 80, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick92 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in No. 92 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick97 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They went early on Zak Zinter in pick No. 97, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick115 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
No edge and no loss on Tyler Davis in Round 4, Pick 15; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick125 Rnd4 Isaiah Davis
They talked themselves into Isaiah Davis at the 125th overall pick, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick151 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
They did well to land Mason McCormick in pick 151, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick178 Rnd6 Evan Williams
They reached into another round for Evan Williams, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick180 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at pick No. 180 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jaden Crumedy
Jaden Crumedy at slot 195 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at the Round 6 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick199 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
A tidy bit of business in the 199th pick, where Johnny Dixon graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick214 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Garret Greenfield. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick220 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at the 220th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee at the Round 7 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick231 Rnd7 Myles Harden
Myles Harden at Round 7, Pick 11 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick237 Rnd7 Mason Fairchild
Mason Fairchild at No. 237 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Donovan Jennings
They paid sticker price for Donovan Jennings in slot 238, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick239 Rnd7 KT Leveston
KT Leveston in the 239th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
