Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureD+
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bengals: B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Seth McLaughlin, 33 picks early at the 133rd pick.

Landing Emmanwori that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In pick No. 17 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick31 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In No. 31 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Steal is underselling it; Nick Emmanwori at the Round 2 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick50 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
No drama and no debate, Donovan Ezeiruaku went about where he belonged in slot 50. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick81 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Circle this one: TreVeyon Henderson at the 81st pick is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick119 Rnd4 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in pick 119 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick133 Rnd4 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at slot 133 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick153 Rnd5 Tyler Baron
They took Tyler Baron at par in No. 153, which is nothing to complain about. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
