Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bengals and Moore: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Bengals were there to profit. Malachi Moore, the No. 150 name on the board, should have been long gone before No. 173.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze at pick 17 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
They took Jonathon Brooks at par in No. 49, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick81 Rnd3 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims at Round 3, Pick 17 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick117 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
They paid sticker price for Khyree Jackson in slot 117, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick154 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker at the 154th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick173 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in the 173rd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jestin Jacobs
A straight-up fair deal on Jestin Jacobs at pick No. 195, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick238 Rnd7 Storm Duck
A quiet steal in the Round 7 slot: Storm Duck for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick254 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Hayden Hatten at the 254th pick is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
