Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesF FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bengals and Bowman Jr.: D-.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Bengals, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

Reaching for Jackson left real value on the table behind him. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Bowman Jr..

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Mike Green
In pick 17 they get a problem off the edge, even if it was a touch early. More want than need.
Pick32 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In slot 32 they get a rangy last line of defense, outstanding value to boot.
Pick55 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
They reached a country mile for Donovan Jackson at Round 2, Pick 23, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Jack Bech at the 81st overall pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick119 Rnd4 Charles Grant
They robbed the room for Charles Grant here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at the Round 4 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick153 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
You do not let a safety like Billy Bowman Jr. reach Round 5, Pick 15 and blink. They did not. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick193 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley in slot 193 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick199 Rnd6 Howard Cross III
They liked Howard Cross III enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 199. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
