Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bengals: B.

The Richard Jibunor selection is the head-turner. The Bengals reached 44 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Devonshire pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In slot 26 they get a building block for the line at fair value.
Pick47 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
By-the-book stuff, T'Vondre Sweat at pick No. 47 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick76 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in the Round 3 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick83 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk in pick 83 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick115 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
A conviction pick on Theo Johnson at the 115th overall pick that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick131 Rnd4 Dylan Laube
A big swing on Dylan Laube at No. 131, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick154 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at the 154th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick214 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
Steal is underselling it; M.J. Devonshire at pick No. 214 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Richard Jibunor
Richard Jibunor in Round 7, Pick 4 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
