Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall F
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureD+
The Bengals let Magee fall into their laps, and walked away with a F.

Thirty-one other rooms let Jordan Magee slide, and the Bengals were the ones holding the card at pick No. 224. Highway robbery.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The Sinnott reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with quarterback still staring back at them.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
A tidy little value on Laiatu Latu in Round 1, Pick 18, a step better than break-even. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick27 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In slot 27 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value.
Pick43 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
They did well to land Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick49 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A conviction pick on T'Vondre Sweat at No. 49 that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick74 Rnd3 Ben Sinnott
They talked themselves into Ben Sinnott at the 74th pick, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick80 Rnd3 Junior Colson
They barely believed it either: Junior Colson still on the board at pick 80. The roster fit checks out.
Pick97 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Brenden Rice. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick109 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at the 109th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick115 Rnd4 Ray Davis
Taking Ray Davis in pick No. 115 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149 Rnd5 Hunter Nourzad
The board fumbled Hunter Nourzad all the way to Round 5, Pick 13, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick194 Rnd6 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas in the 194th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick214 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
You do not let an offensive lineman like Trevor Keegan reach pick 214 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jordan Magee in No. 224, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick237 Rnd7 Nathan Thomas
They robbed the room for Nathan Thomas here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
