Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Bengals won the night they stopped Brooks from sliding. Grade: B+.

Call it larceny. Tahj Brooks sat on the board until Round 5, Pick 15, and the Bengals did not need to be asked twice.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
They did well to land Derrick Harmon in No. 33, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in pick 38 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kyle Kennard
By-the-book stuff, Kyle Kennard at the 67th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick104 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at slot 104 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick119 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Malachi Moore at the Round 4 slot. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick153 Rnd5 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks at pick No. 153 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick193 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
No edge and no loss on Luke Lachey in the 193rd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
