Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Bengals.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Bengals would have aced it. CJ West at pick No. 153 is 32 spots clear of where he belonged. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Booker pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick 17 they get an enforcer at safety. Need was not the driver here.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
The board had Tyler Booker higher than the 49th pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick81 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
A conviction pick on Ashton Gillotte at pick No. 81 that the board grades a round light. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick119 Rnd4 Cody Simon
They liked Cody Simon enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 4, Pick 17. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick153 Rnd5 CJ West
CJ West at No. 153 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick193 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
By-the-book stuff, Oronde Gadsden II at the 193rd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
