Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Bengals cashed the board's mistake on Hardy: D-.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Bengals, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. Put together, it is a D-.

Every board in the league had Sinnott lower, and that gap is the story. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

On value alone, Hardy makes the weekend a net positive.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They took Xavier Legette at par in slot 35, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A reach on T'Vondre Sweat in pick 49; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick71 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
By-the-book stuff, Cooper Beebe at pick No. 71 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick80 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson is a better player than No. 80 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick115 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Value said wait; Ben Sinnott in the 115th overall pick says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick151 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
A straight-up fair deal on Braelon Allen at Round 5, Pick 15, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick173 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
They robbed the room for Ty'Ron Hopper here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jalen Green
A conviction pick on Jalen Green at pick No. 196 that the board grades a round light. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick238 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
They paid sticker price for Matthew Jones in the 238th overall pick, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick254 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
Somehow Daequan Hardy was still sitting there in the 254th pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
