Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bengals for Flournoy: B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Ryan Flournoy had no business being available in No. 237, and the Bengals did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Byrd has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 T'Vondre Sweat
In the Round 1 slot they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at slot 49 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick80 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton in Round 3, Pick 16 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick97 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
They paid up for Braelon Allen at No. 97 when waiting would have done the job. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick115 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
By-the-book stuff, Blake Fisher at pick 115 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick149 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Javion Cohen well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick194 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at the 194th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick214 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
This one needs a full-page explanation: Andrew Raym in pick No. 214, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick224 Rnd7 Solomon Byrd
A big swing on Solomon Byrd at Round 7, Pick 4, well ahead of any board in the building. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick237 Rnd7 Ryan Flournoy
Somehow Ryan Flournoy was still sitting there in pick 237, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick238 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
A straight-up fair deal on Josh Proctor at the Round 7 slot, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
