Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Bengals.

Everything else got attention, and tight end got none. That is a strange way for the Bengals to leave a draft. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

That Williams pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The cost of the Goosby reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 T.J. Parker
In No. 9 they get a problem off the edge, though they paid up to get him. More want than need.
Pick40 Rnd2 Trevor Goosby
The board had cheaper options than Trevor Goosby at pick No. 40, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick73 Rnd3 Antonio Williams
A slide stopped in the Round 3 slot, with Antonio Williams worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick108 Rnd4 Earl Little Jr.
They let Earl Little Jr. come to them and pounced at the 108th overall pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick189 Rnd6 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter in Round 6, Pick 8 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick198 Rnd6 Cam Calhoun
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cam Calhoun. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick225 Rnd7 Desmond Reid
Desmond Reid slipping to slot 225 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
