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

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Bengals started one anyway for Tahj Brooks, 22 picks ahead of schedule. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

That Hadden pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the 24th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
They paid sticker price for Cooper Beebe in pick No. 56, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in Round 3, Pick 25 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick124 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
No drama and no debate, Khyree Jackson went about where he belonged in No. 124. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick161 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at pick 161 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick173 Rnd5 Tahj Brooks
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tahj Brooks. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick202 Rnd6 DeWayne Carter
A clean, defensible pick in the 202nd overall pick with a little surplus value in DeWayne Carter. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick245 Rnd7 Bru McCoy
They let Bru McCoy come to them and pounced at the 245th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick254 Rnd7 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in Round 7, Pick 34 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
