Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

The war room fell hard for Shemar Turner, and it showed at pick No. 81: 46 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

That is an interior defensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Spending an early pick on edge rusher with tight end, offensive lineman and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Mike Green
In the 17th pick they get a problem off the edge, even if it was a touch early. More want than need.
Pick49 Rnd2 Ashton Gillotte
A curious use of the Round 2 slot. Tight end, offensive lineman and other spots needed the pick; an edge rusher in Ashton Gillotte did not.
Pick81 Rnd3 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner at pick No. 81 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick118 Rnd4 Savion Williams
They robbed the room for Savion Williams here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick154 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at slot 154 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish in No. 195 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
