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

For all the boxes ticked, the Bengals skipped the loudest one: tight end is exactly as bare as it was. The bottom line is a respectable B.

That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The Nelson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In the 17th overall pick they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A tidy bit of business in the 76th pick, where Donovan Jackson graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick81 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Quinshon Judkins at Round 3, Pick 17. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick119 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Lathan Ransom at No. 119 is the proof. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick153 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune in slot 153 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
A reach on Jack Nelson in pick No. 174; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick193 Rnd6 CJ West
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 6 slot with a little surplus value in CJ West. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick239 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
Desmond Watson at pick 239 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
