Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesD FutureA
Grand theft in No. 254: the Bengals steal Tagovailoa and grade out a B-.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Bengals did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Tagovailoa. The Bell reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 20th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick80 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Javon Bullard at pick No. 80. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at slot 115 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick129 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III slid further than he should have, and the Round 4 slot is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright in the 173rd overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick254 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
They barely believed it either: Taulia Tagovailoa still on the board at Round 7, Pick 34. A need, and now a little less of one.
