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

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Bengals were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.

That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If Gill-Howard pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick No. 12 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 CJ Allen
CJ Allen in Round 2, Pick 9 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick72 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
A reasonable price with a little left over, Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in pick 72. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick110 Rnd4 Skyler Gill-Howard
They reached into another round for Skyler Gill-Howard, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
