Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bengals a B.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Bengals took Dwight McGlothern a full 28 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Washington. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A reach for T'Vondre Sweat in No. 49; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick56 Rnd2 Brandon Dorlus
By-the-book stuff, Brandon Dorlus at slot 56 squarely in line with his ranking. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick80 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A straight-up fair deal on Cooper Beebe at the 80th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick115 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
They liked Kris Abrams-Draine enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 115. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick151 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Good price on Ben Sinnott in pick No. 151, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Malik Washington
Malik Washington in the 173rd pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick196 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in No. 196 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick238 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at pick 238 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick254 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
A wild overpay on Dwight McGlothern in the 254th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
