Draft Grade — Bengals

ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals let Dotson fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Mello Dotson tumbling to the Bengals in No. 195 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the 17th pick they get a double-digit-sack hope. More want than need.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at slot 49 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick81 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They paid sticker price for Donovan Jackson in the 81st overall pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick118 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. slid further than he should have, and Round 4, Pick 17 is lovely value for the linebacker. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick154 Rnd5 Terrance Ferguson
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Terrance Ferguson in pick No. 154, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick195 Rnd6 Mello Dotson
Mello Dotson at pick 195 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
