Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Bengals.

The Hayden Hatten pick is the one that will follow the Bengals into the fall. They took him 80 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

Getting Braswell where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick No. 19 they get a long-term starter on the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They took T'Vondre Sweat at par in the 49th pick, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick80 Rnd3 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in slot 80 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Jermaine Burton in No. 83, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick116 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at the 116th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick148 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Steal is underselling it; Jarrian Jones at pick 175 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick177 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
They reached into another round for Michael Barrett, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick196 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
A straight-up fair deal on Zion Tupuola-Fetui at the 196th pick, value and slot in agreement. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick218 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at Round 6, Pick 43 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick235 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
Value said wait; Hayden Hatten in the 235th overall pick says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick252 Rnd7 Anim Dankwah
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Anim Dankwah. The roster fit checks out.
