Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bengals and Morgan: B-.

The Bengals did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jordan Morgan fell into pick 80.

The Hartman pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In pick 18 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
No drama and no debate, Xavier Worthy went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick80 Rnd3 Jordan Morgan
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jordan Morgan reach Round 3, Pick 16 and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick97 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at No. 97 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick115 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
They will replay Khyree Jackson at the 115th pick for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell in the 149th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick194 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
A reach for Drake Nugent in slot 194; a little patience would have been rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Nice patience on Jaylan Ford, who had no business lasting to pick No. 214. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick224 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
They left a pile of value on the table to take Sam Hartman this early at the Round 7 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick237 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. is a better player than No. 237 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick238 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
They took Josh Proctor at par in the 238th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
