Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bengals, and a B to prove it.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Bengals shredded theirs for Hayden Hatten. He came off 47 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They banked enough surplus on Davis to cover a lot of smaller sins. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims at the 24th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick49 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Chop Robinson in pick No. 49. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick56 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on T'Vondre Sweat. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick80 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
No edge and no loss on Cooper Beebe in Round 3, Pick 16; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick115 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
A real head-scratcher, Ben Sinnott in slot 115 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in the 151st overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick173 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
By-the-book stuff, Michael Barrett at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick196 Rnd6 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis in pick No. 196 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick238 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in Round 7, Pick 18 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.
Pick254 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
Hayden Hatten at No. 254 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
