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

Call it larceny. Jacob Parrish sat on the board until the 153rd pick, and the Bengals did not need to be asked twice. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
No edge and no loss on Shemar Stewart in the 17th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick49 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
They did well to land T.J. Sanders in pick 49, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick81 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Donovan Jackson. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick119 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
They robbed the room for Kevin Winston Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jacob Parrish
Steal is underselling it; Jacob Parrish at No. 153 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick193 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at slot 193 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
