Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bengals a B-.

The Bengals clearly saw something nobody else did in Derrick Moore, taking him 42 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. With tight end, offensive lineman and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on edge rusher is the choice that costs them.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Keldric Faulk
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge at fair value.
Pick42 Rnd2 KC Concepcion
A tidy bit of business in No. 42, where KC Concepcion graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick73 Rnd3 Suntarine Perkins
They bypassed pressing needs at tight end, offensive lineman and other spots to take Suntarine Perkins, an edge rusher that was not the priority.
Pick108 Rnd4 Derrick Moore
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 108th overall pick on Derrick Moore with tight end, offensive lineman and other spots unsolved.
Pick190 Rnd6 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter in pick No. 190 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick204 Rnd6 James Smith
A real head-scratcher, James Smith in slot 204 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick226 Rnd7 Ricardo Hallman
A conviction pick on Ricardo Hallman at the Round 7 slot that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
