Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The kind of value that does not make headlines but wins seasons: Ladd McConkey to the Bengals in pick No. 49.

They are betting Jean-Baptiste proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick No. 18 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
Nice patience on Ladd McConkey, who had no business lasting to pick 49. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick80 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Michael Hall Jr. at Round 3, Pick 16, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick114 Rnd4 Ray Davis
Ray Davis slid further than he should have, and the 114th pick is lovely value for the running back. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick148 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett at slot 148 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
No edge and no loss on Jared Wiley in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick208 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at No. 208 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick214 Rnd6 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
Javontae Jean-Baptiste in the 214th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
Jordan Whittington at pick 237 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
