Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Bengals a B+.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Bengals shredded theirs for Ricky White III. He came off 41 spots early, and the room will hear about it. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Kandra pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. The Martin Emerson Jr. pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Booker at the 33rd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
A wild overpay on Jared Ivey in the 49th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick67 Rnd3 Deone Walker
By-the-book stuff, Deone Walker at pick No. 67 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick82 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in pick 82 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick118 Rnd4 Azareye'h Thomas
They barely believed it either: Azareye'h Thomas still on the board at No. 118. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick136 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Somehow Luke Kandra was still sitting there in the Round 4 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick152 Rnd5 Ricky White III
Ricky White III at the 152nd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick192 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
Nothing to complain about; Xavier Nwankpa went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
