Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bengals worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Devin Culp at the 252nd overall pick, a reach of 79 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Coleman steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Bengals clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 26th overall pick they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Braden Fiske. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick57 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
They robbed the room for Keon Coleman here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick80 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at pick 80 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick83 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They paid sticker price for Khyree Jackson in the 83rd pick, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick116 Rnd4 Javon Foster
No edge and no loss on Javon Foster in No. 116; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick148 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
They took Tykee Smith at par in the 148th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jha'Quan Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Jha'Quan Jackson at Round 5, Pick 39, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick177 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at the 177th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick196 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
The board had M.J. Devonshire higher than slot 196, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick235 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
They did well to land Tyler Owens in pick 235, just ahead of his grade. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick252 Rnd7 Devin Culp
Devin Culp at No. 252 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
