Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Bengals lost the trade table, and the D tells the story.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Bengals shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill.

The cost of the Hopper reach is exactly the players who went right after him. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

Johnson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with tight end the one that mattered most.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
No drama and no debate, T'Vondre Sweat went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick49 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in pick No. 49 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It fills a real need, too.
Pick71 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in pick 71 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick81 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at the 81st pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick104 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
A straight-up fair deal on Braelon Allen at Round 4, Pick 4, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick116 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at the 116th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick127 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
The board had Tyler Davis higher than No. 127, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at slot 148 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick159 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Roger Rosengarten at the 159th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jared Wiley
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jared Wiley well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick196 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
They did well to land Tahj Washington in No. 196, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick202 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson is a better player than slot 202 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
