Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bengals did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Call it larceny. Daijun Edwards sat on the board until pick 214, and the Bengals did not need to be asked twice. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The Johnson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick 18 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jonathon Brooks in No. 49. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick80 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at pick No. 80 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick97 Rnd3 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson in the Round 3 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick115 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
They paid a round early for McKinnley Jackson in the 115th pick, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick149 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in Round 5, Pick 13 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick194 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
M.J. Devonshire at pick 194 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick214 Rnd6 Daijun Edwards
Daijun Edwards at the 214th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick237 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio in No. 237 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
