Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the Round 5 slot: the Bengals steal Puni and grade out a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Dominick Puni slide, and the Bengals were the ones holding the card at the 148th pick. Highway robbery. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the Round 1 slot they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. More want than need.
Pick49 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
Somehow Nate Wiggins was still sitting there in pick No. 49, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick80 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Patrick Paul at the 80th overall pick is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick116 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
A quiet steal in Round 4, Pick 16: Leonard Taylor III for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick148 Rnd5 Dominick Puni
Circle this one: Dominick Puni at No. 148 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick175 Rnd5 Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader in the 175th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
