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

The tape said wait; the Bengals did not. Jalen Rivers went at the Round 6 slot, a good 118 picks before the board was ready.

The Knight Jr. pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick No. 22 they get a seam-stretching tight end. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in Round 2, Pick 17 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick55 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jared Ivey this early at the Round 2 slot. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick81 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at No. 81 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick118 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Taking Demetrius Knight Jr. in the 118th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick154 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Pat Bryant in slot 154. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick195 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at the 195th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jalen Rivers
Jalen Rivers at pick 215 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
