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

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Bengals took Omar Speights at pick No. 214, roughly 127 spots before his name belonged. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Landing Morgan that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the 18th pick they get an island corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick19 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 19th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Value with a capital V on Jordan Morgan in the Round 2 slot, a genuine coup. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick66 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
A reach on Michael Hall Jr. in pick No. 66; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick80 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
A big swing on McKinnley Jackson at Round 3, Pick 16, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick92 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
No edge and no loss on Khyree Jackson in pick 92; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick149 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at Round 5, Pick 13 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick194 Rnd6 Erick All
The board had cheaper options than Erick All at the Round 6 slot, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick214 Rnd6 Omar Speights
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Omar Speights well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
A wild overpay on Evan Anderson in slot 238, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
