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

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Hayden Hatten at the 254th overall pick, a reach of 58 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a building block for the line at fair value.
Pick49 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick80 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Good price on Cooper Beebe in pick 80, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick87 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis in pick No. 87 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick115 Rnd4 Malik Washington
They took Malik Washington at par in slot 115, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
They paid sticker price for Jaylen Wright in No. 151, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in Round 5, Pick 27 is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick173 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
They paid a round early for Michael Barrett in the 173rd pick, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
Pick174 Rnd5 Christian Jones
A real head-scratcher, Christian Jones in the 174th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
No drama and no debate, Jaylen Harrell went about where he belonged in pick 196. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick212 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
A wild overpay on Matthew Jones in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick238 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
They reached a country mile for Dwight McGlothern at slot 238, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick254 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
Value said wait; Hayden Hatten in pick No. 254 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
