Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Bengals let Williams fall into their laps, and walked away with a D.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Bengals did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

The Beebe reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Williams. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick49 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
They paid sticker price for Kiran Amegadjie in No. 49, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick59 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at pick 59 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick61 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
They went early on Cooper Beebe in the 61st overall pick, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
Pick80 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Christian Mahogany. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick85 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson in pick No. 85 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick116 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson slipping to the 116th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in pick No. 148 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick175 Rnd5 Trey Knox
A straight-up fair deal on Trey Knox at Round 5, Pick 39, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick196 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Josh Proctor at the Round 6 slot. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick235 Rnd7 Miyan Williams
The board fumbled Miyan Williams all the way to No. 235, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick236 Rnd7 Phil Jurkovec
They took Phil Jurkovec at par in slot 236, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
A tidy little value on Nathaniel Watson in the 245th pick, a step better than break-even. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick252 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Nice patience on Joshua Cephus, who had no business lasting to pick 252. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
