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

The tape said wait; the Bengals did not. Evan Anderson went at slot 237, a good 46 picks before the board was ready. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In slot 18 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at the 49th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick80 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
They talked themselves into Cedric Gray at pick No. 80, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick97 Rnd3 Mohamed Kamara
A real head-scratcher, Mohamed Kamara in No. 97 is miles ahead of his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick115 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They went early on Ben Sinnott in pick 115, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick149 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse at Round 5, Pick 13 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
No edge and no loss on Jase McClellan in pick 194; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick214 Rnd6 Daijahn Anthony
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Daijahn Anthony well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick224 Rnd7 Kalen DeLoach
Value said wait; Kalen DeLoach in the 224th pick says they were not listening. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick237 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
Evan Anderson at the 237th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick238 Rnd7 Matt Lee
Matt Lee at No. 238 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
