Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall D+
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesF FutureA
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bengals and Johnson: D+.

Somebody took the Bengals to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.

A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want. Johnson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

The Christian Wilkins deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, linebacker very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 JC Latham
Steal is underselling it; JC Latham at pick No. 34 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick49 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
Value with a capital V on Ladd McConkey in the 49th pick, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick68 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at No. 68 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick80 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
They read the board right and Jaylen Wright was the payoff at the Round 3 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick97 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson slid further than he should have, and the 97th overall pick is lovely value for the cornerback. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick115 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at pick 115 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
They will replay Theo Johnson at the 149th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
