Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bengals: B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Jehiem Oatis at the 203rd overall pick is 122 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Jagusah value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jake Slaughter
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback at fair value.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kamari Ramsey
Nothing to complain about; Kamari Ramsey went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick89 Rnd3 Chandler Rivers
A reach on Chandler Rivers in pick No. 89; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick125 Rnd4 Charles Jagusah
A quiet steal in slot 125: Charles Jagusah for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick164 Rnd5 James Williams
A real head-scratcher, James Williams in pick 164 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jehiem Oatis
Value said wait; Jehiem Oatis in No. 203 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick238 Rnd7 J.C. Davis
They liked J.C. Davis enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 238. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick252 Rnd7 Tony Grimes
A straight-up fair deal on Tony Grimes at slot 252, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
