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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Cam Hart, the Round 6 slot, roughly 59 picks past where he belonged.

They are betting Hatten proves the room right and everyone else wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In pick 18 they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at pick No. 49 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick80 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard in the 80th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick116 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at pick No. 116 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
The board had cheaper options than Jaylen Wright at Round 5, Pick 12, and it noticed. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick175 Rnd5 Malik Washington
Malik Washington in No. 175 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick196 Rnd6 Cam Hart
They will replay Cam Hart at pick 196 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick235 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in slot 235 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick252 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
They reached a country mile for Hayden Hatten at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
