Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB TradesC FutureA+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bengals for Tuten: B+.

You could see the war room lean forward. Bhayshul Tuten at the Round 6 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. The Riley pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick49 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
They will replay Walter Nolen at No. 49 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick53 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at slot 53 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick81 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
The board fumbled Harold Fannin Jr. all the way to the 81st pick, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick118 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
Value with a capital V on Dylan Fairchild in the 118th overall pick, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick154 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at the Round 5 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick193 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
You do not let a running back like Bhayshul Tuten reach pick 193 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
A quiet steal in Round 6, Pick 17: Jaylen Reed for less than the market said. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
