Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall
B-
ValueC+
NeedB
TradesC
FutureB+
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Bengals. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Bengals spent the Round 6 slot on Blake Watson, a name the board had a full 73 spots lower. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.
The Newton pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front. A real need, handled.
Pick49
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
The board had Jordan Morgan higher than pick No. 49, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick80
Rnd3
DeWayne Carter
Value said wait; DeWayne Carter in slot 80 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick97
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at pick 97 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick115
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson in Round 4, Pick 15 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick126
Rnd4
Isaiah Davis
They left a pile of value on the table to take Isaiah Davis this early at the 126th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick134
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
A straight-up fair deal on Mohamed Kamara at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick144
Rnd5
Josh Newton
The board fumbled Josh Newton all the way to No. 144, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick149
Rnd5
Mason McCormick
A reasonable price with a little left over, Mason McCormick in Round 5, Pick 13. It fills a real need, too.
Pick194
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs in the 194th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick202
Rnd6
Garret Greenfield
They liked Garret Greenfield enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 202. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick214
Rnd6
Blake Watson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Blake Watson in slot 214, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick224
Rnd7
Brevyn Spann-Ford
They reached a country mile for Brevyn Spann-Ford at pick 224, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick237
Rnd7
Evan Anderson
A wild overpay on Evan Anderson in the 237th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick238
Rnd7
Jalen Coker
They went early on Jalen Coker in pick 238, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
