Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Bengals to a D-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Bengals shredded theirs for Tyler Harrell. He came off 104 spots early, and the room will hear about it. A D- that will need time and luck to look better.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Trice.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
A tidy little value on Jer'Zhan Newton in pick 18, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick33 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
No drama and no debate, Xavier Legette went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in No. 49 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick80 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
They barely believed it either: Bralen Trice still on the board at the 80th overall pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick101 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
Fair-plus on Tykee Smith, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick115 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in slot 115 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick151 Rnd5 MarShawn Lloyd
The board fumbled MarShawn Lloyd all the way to the 151st pick, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick173 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
By-the-book stuff, Roger Rosengarten at pick 173 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick196 Rnd6 Christian Jones
They paid sticker price for Christian Jones in No. 196, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick238 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
A quiet steal in the 238th overall pick: Sheridan Jones for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick254 Rnd7 Tyler Harrell
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tyler Harrell. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
