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

The Bengals did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Devin Moore fell into pick 110. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

If Jackson Jr. pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In No. 10 they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Joshua Josephs
Joshua Josephs at pick No. 41 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick72 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. at the Round 3 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick110 Rnd4 Devin Moore
Circle this one: Devin Moore at pick 110 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick187 Rnd6 Aaron Anderson
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Aaron Anderson in the 187th pick, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick197 Rnd6 Dalton Johnson
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dalton Johnson. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jaren Kanak
They paid sticker price for Jaren Kanak in the 226th overall pick, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
