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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Johnny Dixon, No. 237, roughly 46 picks past where he belonged. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

The dealing was even money, start to finish.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In the 18th overall pick they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They paid sticker price for Xavier Worthy in pick 49, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick80 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Blake Corum in Round 3, Pick 16 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick97 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
No drama and no debate, Khyree Jackson went about where he belonged in No. 97. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick115 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis in pick No. 115 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick149 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick214 Rnd6 Trente Jones
Taking Trente Jones in slot 214 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick224 Rnd7 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
You do not let a wide receiver like Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint reach the 224th pick and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick237 Rnd7 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon at No. 237 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick238 Rnd7 Ryan Flournoy
They barely believed it either: Ryan Flournoy still on the board at pick No. 238. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
