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

The Bengals did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Terrion Arnold fell into pick No. 56.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. Every board in the league had Marks lower, and that gap is the story.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the 24th overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick56 Rnd2 Terrion Arnold
Terrion Arnold in pick No. 56 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
They paid sticker price for Dominick Puni in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick124 Rnd4 Cade Stover
Cade Stover at the 124th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick161 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
A straight-up fair deal on Ainias Smith at pick 161, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jo'Quavious Marks
Jo'Quavious Marks in Round 5, Pick 37 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick202 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
They paid a round early for Miles Frazier in No. 202, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick245 Rnd7 Francisco Mauigoa
They will replay Francisco Mauigoa at slot 245 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick254 Rnd7 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in Round 7, Pick 34 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
