Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bengals for Colson: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Junior Colson slide, and the Bengals were the ones holding the card at the Round 3 slot. Highway robbery. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The Jordan pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick49 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
They paid sticker price for T.J. Tampa in pick 49, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick80 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in No. 80 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick97 Rnd3 Junior Colson
A linebacker of that caliber at slot 97 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick115 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
No edge and no loss on Tyler Davis in pick No. 115; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
A reach on Sione Vaki in Round 5, Pick 13; the board had better options right there. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick194 Rnd6 Delmar Glaze
Delmar Glaze in the 194th pick is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick214 Rnd6 Erick All
Erick All in the Round 6 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
They reached into another round for Jawhar Jordan, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
