Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bengals for King: B+.

You could see the war room lean forward. Kalen King at No. 80 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They are betting Murphy II proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In No. 18 they get an anchor for the offensive line at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
This one needs a full-page explanation: Byron Murphy II in pick 49, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick80 Rnd3 Kalen King
The board fumbled Kalen King all the way to pick No. 80, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick115 Rnd4 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent in the 115th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick151 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube at the Round 5 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick178 Rnd6 Aki Ogunbiyi
Aki Ogunbiyi in the 178th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick196 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
They took Gabe Hall at par in Round 6, Pick 21, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick238 Rnd7 Ja'Had Carter
No edge and no loss on Ja'Had Carter in slot 238; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick254 Rnd7 Derek Wingo
Derek Wingo in pick 254 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
