Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Bengals fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

Nobody else had Evan Anderson anywhere near pick No. 252. The Bengals did, by 55 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

James falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker.

Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
No drama and no debate, Tyler Guyton went about where he belonged in the 33rd pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick49 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They paid up for T'Vondre Sweat at Round 2, Pick 17 when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick65 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at the 65th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick80 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A tidy little value on Cooper Beebe in slot 80, a step better than break-even. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick102 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
No edge and no loss on Khyree Jackson in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick116 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
They took Darius Robinson at par in pick No. 116, which is nothing to complain about. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick148 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Theo Johnson at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick165 Rnd5 DJ James
Steal is underselling it; DJ James at the 165th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick175 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis in pick 175 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick196 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor in the 196th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick235 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
A straight-up fair deal on Brevyn Spann-Ford at slot 235, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick252 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Evan Anderson. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
