Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Bengals this weekend: B+.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Jacob Rodriguez in the 111th pick, a good 53 spots before the room expected him.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

Getting Sadiq where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The Tyreek Hill deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In No. 12 they get an enforcer at safety, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
Kenyon Sadiq at pick 41 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick74 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Deontae Lawson at Round 3, Pick 10 is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
Pick109 Rnd4 Monroe Freeling
Monroe Freeling at the Round 4 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick110 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. in the 110th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jacob Rodriguez
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jacob Rodriguez this early at pick No. 111. The roster fit checks out.
