Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Jimmy Horn Jr. at Round 7, Pick 13 is 45 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Moss. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Omarion Hampton
In the 11th overall pick they get a featured back at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Mykel Williams
Mykel Williams in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick75 Rnd3 Tacario Davis
A real head-scratcher, Tacario Davis in the 75th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick112 Rnd4 Dontay Corleone
Dontay Corleone in pick 112 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick149 Rnd5 Miller Moss
Taking Miller Moss in pick No. 149 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick187 Rnd6 Shilo Sanders
This one needs a full-page explanation: Shilo Sanders in No. 187, miles early. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
They reached into another round for Jimmy Horn Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
