Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bengals, and a B- to prove it.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Bengals spent Round 7, Pick 34 on Evan Anderson, a name the board had a full 29 spots lower.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On value alone, Jackson makes the weekend a net positive. They chose more darts over a bigger single swing.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In slot 26 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Brandon Dorlus
By-the-book stuff, Brandon Dorlus at pick 53 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick80 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Malachi Corley. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick89 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Michael Hall Jr. at the 89th pick, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick115 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at pick No. 115 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick151 Rnd5 McCallan Castles
McCallan Castles at Round 5, Pick 15 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick158 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
They jumped the gun on Layden Robinson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
Pick173 Rnd5 Curtis Jacobs
They took Curtis Jacobs at par in the 173rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick196 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
Fair-plus on Kimani Vidal, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick238 Rnd7 Mark Perry
Mark Perry in the 238th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick254 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
Value said wait; Evan Anderson in No. 254 says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
