Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bengals: B-.

The Bengals looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Hayden Hatten at pick 254 regardless, 47 picks early.

The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick 18 they get a building block for the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A reach for T'Vondre Sweat in the Round 2 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick80 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in Round 3, Pick 16 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick115 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson slipping to the 115th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick151 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at the 151st overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick173 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
They paid sticker price for Michael Barrett in pick No. 173, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick196 Rnd6 Christian Jones
A reasonable price with a little left over, Christian Jones in slot 196. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
They jumped the gun on Dwight McGlothern, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick254 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
Hayden Hatten at No. 254 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
