Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Bengals: B-.

The Bengals bet big and early on Jaylen Harrell, 54 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

McCoy falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Jackson pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at tight end, interior defensive lineman and other spots.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson in No. 17 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick49 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at slot 49 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick81 Rnd3 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims at the 81st pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick117 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
They bypassed pressing needs at tight end, interior defensive lineman and other spots to take Khyree Jackson, a defensive back that was not the priority.
Pick154 Rnd5 Cade Stover
A TE-EDGE of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 18 is the definition of value, full stop. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick173 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
A straight-up fair deal on Raheim Sanders at the 173rd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick195 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in the 195th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick238 Rnd7 Bru McCoy
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Bru McCoy in the 238th pick, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jaylen Harrell
A big swing on Jaylen Harrell at No. 254, well ahead of any board in the building. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
