Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC FutureB+
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Bengals.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Jared Ivey at the Round 2 slot is 30 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Henderson. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in pick No. 33 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
Jared Ivey at the 49th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick67 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Deone Walker. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick81 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in pick 81 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick118 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
The board had Luke Kandra higher than No. 118, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jaylin Noel
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jaylin Noel in slot 152. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick192 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
Nothing to complain about; Xavier Nwankpa went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
