Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bengals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

Some picks age like wine; Carson Steele at Round 7, Pick 4 will need to, sitting 102 spots clear of his grade.

However the rest shakes out, Jones at that price is a win they earned. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the 20th pick they get a bendy edge with upside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in No. 58 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick80 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They liked Brenden Rice enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 80. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick84 Rnd3 Cam Hart
Cam Hart in slot 84 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick88 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
They left a pile of value on the table to take Braelon Allen this early at the 88th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick97 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Maason Smith in the Round 3 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick115 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Davis at No. 115, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
They paid sticker price for Theo Johnson in pick 119, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick149 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
A wild overpay on Malik Mustapha in the 149th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones in slot 194 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick214 Rnd6 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
They took Javontae Jean-Baptiste at par in pick No. 214, which is nothing to complain about. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick224 Rnd7 Carson Steele
Carson Steele in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick237 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Hayden Hatten well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
A reach for Jalen Sundell in Round 7, Pick 18; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
