Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD
Grand theft in pick 194: the Bengals steal Hadden and grade out a B.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Bengals came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.

The Hadden pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. If Whittington pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims at the 18th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick36 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
No drama and no debate, Ja'Tavion Sanders went about where he belonged in pick No. 36. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick49 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A reasonable price with a little left over, T'Vondre Sweat in No. 49. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick80 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in slot 80 is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick97 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at Round 3, Pick 34 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick149 Rnd5 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas in the Round 5 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick194 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
A cornerback of that caliber at the 194th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick214 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
They paid sticker price for JD Bertrand in pick 214, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
Jordan Whittington at slot 224 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick237 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
They robbed the room for Garret Greenfield here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
A conviction pick on Kimani Vidal at the 238th pick that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
