Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Bengals did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

Some picks age like wine; C.J. Hanson at Round 7, Pick 18 will need to, sitting 25 spots clear of his grade.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Ford falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
In pick No. 25 they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in pick 49 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick58 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at the Round 2 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick80 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Good price on Ja'Lynn Polk in slot 80, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick97 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
They reached a country mile for Blake Fisher at the 97th overall pick, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick115 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
They went early on McKinnley Jackson in No. 115, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick149 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
They paid sticker price for Isaiah Davis in the Round 5 slot, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at No. 169 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick194 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A straight-up fair deal on Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at the 194th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 214, where Jaylan Ford graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick224 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
Tatum Bethune in the 224th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick237 Rnd7 Dominique Hampton
Dominique Hampton in slot 237 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick238 Rnd7 C.J. Hanson
A real head-scratcher, C.J. Hanson in pick 238 is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
