Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bengals for Loveland: B+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Colston Loveland slide, and the Bengals were the ones holding the card at the 187th overall pick. Highway robbery. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

The cost of the Hairston reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 14th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. More want than need.
Pick45 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They barely believed it either: Nick Emmanwori still on the board at Round 2, Pick 13. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick47 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Somehow Omarion Hampton was still sitting there in the Round 2 slot, and they pounced on premier running back value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
They reached a country mile for Alfred Collins at pick 75, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at No. 111 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jake Majors
They robbed the room for Jake Majors here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jay Higgins in slot 147, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick152 Rnd5 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at the 152nd overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick187 Rnd6 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in pick 187 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick254 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
A reasonable price with a little left over, Garrett Dellinger in No. 254. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
