Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bengals: B-.

The Bengals treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick No. 153 on Ahmed Hassanein a full 76 spots early. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Evans. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
Nothing to complain about; Luther Burden III went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick49 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
They took Alfred Collins at par in the 49th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick81 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
A reach for Ashton Gillotte in the 81st pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick119 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
A premium they did not need to pay, Rylie Mills a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick153 Rnd5 Ahmed Hassanein
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ahmed Hassanein this early at No. 153. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick193 Rnd6 Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans at slot 193 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
