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

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Bengals did exactly that with Carson Steele in the 224th overall pick.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took McGlothern. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a sticky cover corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
They did well to land Roman Wilson in pick No. 49, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
No edge and no loss on Kingsley Suamataia in the 56th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick80 Rnd3 Cade Stover
Cade Stover at the Round 3 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick97 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A conviction pick on Maason Smith at the 97th overall pick that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick115 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
A reach for Isaac Guerendo in No. 115; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick149 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Fair-plus on Mason McCormick, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick194 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Dwight McGlothern in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at the 214th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick224 Rnd7 Carson Steele
Carson Steele at pick 224 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick237 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
They left a pile of value on the table to take Hayden Hatten this early at No. 237. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Good price on Michael Barrett in slot 238, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
