Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B

Grand theft in No. 194: the Bengals steal Smith and grade out a B.

The Bengals spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Tykee Smith, the No. 160 name on the board, in the 194th overall pick.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
The board had Olumuyiwa Fashanu higher than the 18th overall pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick49 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Steal is underselling it; Kool-Aid McKinstry at No. 49 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick80 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
Value with a capital V on Xavier Worthy in the Round 3 slot, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick97 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
They robbed the room for Xavier Legette here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick115 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Fair-plus on Braelon Allen, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick149 Rnd5 Christian Jones
A slide stopped in the 149th pick, with Christian Jones worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick194 Rnd6 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at pick No. 194 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick214 Rnd6 Daijun Edwards
The board fumbled Daijun Edwards all the way to pick 214, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick237 Rnd7 Trey Knox
They read the board right and Trey Knox was the payoff at No. 237. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
