Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals won the night they stopped Phillips from sliding. Grade: B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Jordan Phillips had no business being available in the 153rd overall pick, and the Bengals did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. Need was not the driver here.
Pick49 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Malaki Starks in the 49th pick, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick81 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
No edge and no loss on Barrett Carter in the 81st overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick119 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander in pick No. 119 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips in pick 153 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
The board fumbled Jack Nelson all the way to slot 196, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick244 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ty Hamilton. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
