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

The Bengals spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Cody Simon, the No. 121 name on the board, in the Round 6 slot. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

The cost of the Miller reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Emmanwori pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with cornerback, tight end and other spots still on the board.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 T.J. Sanders
In slot 22 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Watts at pick 49, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick55 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A curious use of No. 55. Cornerback, tight end and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Nick Emmanwori did not.
Pick81 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at pick No. 81 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick117 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at Round 4, Pick 16 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jaeden Roberts
No edge and no loss on Jaeden Roberts in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick191 Rnd6 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in the 191st overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick213 Rnd6 Cam Miller
Cam Miller at the 213th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
