Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Bengals: B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Bengals took Richard Jibunor at slot 235, roughly 82 spots before his name belonged.

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at the 49th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick80 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul slid further than he should have, and slot 80 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It fills a real need, too.
Pick116 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
They jumped the gun on Mohamed Kamara, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick148 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
They reached a country mile for Khristian Boyd at Round 5, Pick 12, and the board is aghast. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at No. 175 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick196 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Johnny Dixon at pick No. 196 is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick235 Rnd7 Richard Jibunor
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Richard Jibunor. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick252 Rnd7 Ryan Flournoy
Ryan Flournoy in No. 252 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
