Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Larceny in pick No. 212 lands the Bengals a B, Dial and all.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Bengals walked out of the weekend still thin at interior defensive lineman, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The Dial pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The Bertrand pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 19th overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in Round 2, Pick 17 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick80 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Nothing to complain about; Cooper Beebe went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick83 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley in slot 83 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick116 Rnd4 Nelson Ceaser
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nelson Ceaser. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick148 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
They took Dylan Laube at par in pick 148, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick175 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
A reasonable price with a little left over, Joe Milton III in the Round 5 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick191 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
A reach for JD Bertrand in pick 191; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick196 Rnd6 Austin Stogner
Austin Stogner at the 196th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick212 Rnd6 Marcellas Dial
Somehow Marcellas Dial was still sitting there in the 212th pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan is a better player than Round 7, Pick 15 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jontrey Hunter
They let Jontrey Hunter come to them and pounced at No. 252. A minor itch, scratched.
