Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueA NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bengals and Warren: B.

Call it larceny. Tyler Warren sat on the board until pick No. 81, and the Bengals did not need to be asked twice. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the Round 1 slot they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
A linebacker of that caliber at No. 47 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick81 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the 81st overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
