Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB
The Bengals let Johnson fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Kaleb Johnson slide, and the Bengals were the ones holding the card at the 81st pick. Highway robbery.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a wrecking ball inside, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Fair-plus on Xavier Watts, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick62 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Donovan Jackson at the 62nd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick81 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Taking Kaleb Johnson in the 81st pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick109 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Tai Felton in pick 109 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Nice patience on Jared Wilson, who had no business lasting to Round 4, Pick 17. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jah Joyner
Jah Joyner in pick No. 153 is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick193 Rnd6 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks at slot 193 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
