Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB+ FutureB
The Bengals let Hampton fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Omarion Hampton slide, and the Bengals were the ones holding the card at slot 74. Highway robbery.

If Porter pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
They did well to land Abdul Carter in the 14th pick, just ahead of his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick42 Rnd2 Darien Porter
A real head-scratcher, Darien Porter in No. 42 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick57 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at slot 57 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick74 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in the 74th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick111 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
They will replay Malachi Moore at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jake Majors
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jake Majors in pick 126, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick148 Rnd5 David Bailey
Nice patience on David Bailey, who had no business lasting to Round 5, Pick 10. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick165 Rnd5 Eli Stowers
A conviction pick on Eli Stowers at pick No. 165 that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick186 Rnd6 Theo Wease Jr.
Theo Wease Jr. at pick No. 186 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
