Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC-
The Bengals turned the phones into found money: B.

The war room fell hard for Barryn Sorrell, and it showed at No. 235: 80 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Farmer. The phones were where this weekend was really won. Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In pick 17 they get a lockdown presence outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau in the 49th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
Circle this one: Jaylin Noel at the 118th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick119 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
You do not let an offensive lineman like Donovan Jackson reach the Round 4 slot and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick153 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
They let Mitchell Evans come to them and pounced at slot 153. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick157 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at No. 157 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick235 Rnd7 Barryn Sorrell
A wild overpay on Barryn Sorrell in pick 235, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
