Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Bengals to a D-.

The Bengals lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. Reaching for Johnson left real value on the table behind him. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the 18th overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick23 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In No. 23 they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
By-the-book stuff, Braden Fiske at slot 49 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick80 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
No drama and no debate, Jaylen Wright went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick86 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus at pick No. 86 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick116 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
They reached into another round for Theo Johnson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
