Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureC-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bengals and Jennings: B-.

The board owed the Bengals one, and it paid up: Kevin Jennings, the No. 185 name on the board, sitting there at slot 222 like a gift left on the doorstep.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The veteran additions, Kyle Dugger chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
A quiet steal in Round 1, Pick 25: Jeremiyah Love for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick32 Rnd1 Dillon Thieneman
In slot 32 they get a two-high chess piece, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick57 Rnd2 Deontae Lawson
Somehow Deontae Lawson was still sitting there in No. 57, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick125 Rnd4 DJ Harvey
Good price on DJ Harvey in the Round 4 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Kevin Jennings
You do not let a quarterback like Kevin Jennings reach pick 222 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
