Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB+ FutureB-
Henderson should have been long gone. The Bengals pounced, and earned a B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. TreVeyon Henderson tumbling to the Bengals in pick No. 116 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

If Dellinger pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The Pearce Jr. pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at cornerback, wide receiver and other spots. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 15th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick41 Rnd2 James Pearce Jr.
Of all the spots to shop, they chose edge rusher. James Pearce Jr. in pick No. 41 leaves cornerback, wide receiver and other spots for later.
Pick47 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They will replay Nick Emmanwori at slot 47 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick75 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins slid further than he should have, and Round 3, Pick 11 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in the 111th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick116 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
Taking TreVeyon Henderson in pick 116 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick147 Rnd5 David Bailey
David Bailey at No. 147 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick187 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick231 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Garrett Dellinger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
