Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureA
The Bengals checked most of the boxes and earned a B+.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Bengals shredded theirs for Dayon Hayes. He came off 128 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. The Burden III pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick44 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Taking Luther Burden III in slot 44 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick49 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
A slide stopped in Round 2, Pick 17, with Derrick Harmon worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris at No. 81 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick117 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra slipping to pick No. 117 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Dayon Hayes
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dayon Hayes. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick191 Rnd6 Quinn Carroll
Quinn Carroll in pick 191 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
