Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bengals, and a B- to prove it.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bengals watched Evan Williams slide 23 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

Reaching for Spann-Ford left real value on the table behind him. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
No edge and no loss on Amarius Mims in No. 18; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick49 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
They paid up for Braden Fiske at pick 49 when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick80 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
A tidy little value on Ja'Lynn Polk in pick No. 80, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick97 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at pick 97 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick115 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in slot 115 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149 Rnd5 Kalen King
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kalen King at the Round 5 slot is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick194 Rnd6 Delmar Glaze
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Delmar Glaze. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick214 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
Julian Pearl at the 214th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick224 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
A wild overpay on Brevyn Spann-Ford in No. 224, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick237 Rnd7 Evan Williams
Evan Williams in Round 7, Pick 17 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
They paid a round early for Jordan Whittington in No. 238, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
