Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Bengals this weekend: B+.

The Bengals went off the board in a big way for Carson Steele, 89 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

McGlothern falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They will answer for taking edge rusher early while interior defensive lineman, linebacker and other spots went begging.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the 25th overall pick they get a problem off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick49 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
A reach for Kingsley Suamataia in slot 49; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jaylen Wright
A straight-up fair deal on Jaylen Wright at the 63rd pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick80 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette is a better player than No. 80 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick97 Rnd3 Cade Stover
Steal is underselling it; Cade Stover at pick 97 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick115 Rnd4 Cam Hart
A tidy bit of business in the Round 4 slot, where Cam Hart graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick124 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went edge rusher with Justin Eboigbe while clear needs at interior defensive lineman, linebacker and other spots sat open.
Pick149 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
A tidy little value on Mason McCormick in No. 149, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick194 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Circle this one: Dwight McGlothern at the 194th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick214 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
You do not let a wide receiver like Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint reach slot 214 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jared Wiley
They will replay Jared Wiley at Round 7, Pick 4 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick237 Rnd7 Carson Steele
Carson Steele in the 237th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
