Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Bengals won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

The Bengals spent real capital to be 180 picks early on R.J. Oben, and the board is going to hold them to it. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

That Johnson pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In No. 24 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in pick No. 39 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Good price on Tyleik Williams in the 49th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick81 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
Somehow Azareye'h Thomas was still sitting there in the 81st pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick97 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at Round 3, Pick 33 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
They robbed the room for Andrew Mukuba here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick148 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Taking Smael Mondon Jr. in slot 148 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick153 Rnd5 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick160 Rnd5 Tahj Brooks
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Tahj Brooks in Round 5, Pick 22, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick205 Rnd6 R.J. Oben
R.J. Oben in pick 205 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Circle this one: Jack Kiser at No. 233 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick236 Rnd7 CJ West
The board fumbled CJ West all the way to pick No. 236, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick240 Rnd7 John Williams
No drama and no debate, John Williams went about where he belonged in the 240th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick248 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Miles Frazier in the 248th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
