Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 235th overall pick: the Bengals steal Cowing and grade out a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jacob Cowing, the No. 142 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 235. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Every board in the league had Okie-Anoma lower, and that gap is the story. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In pick No. 18 they get a load in the middle. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Terrion Arnold
They will replay Terrion Arnold at Round 2, Pick 17 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick80 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at No. 80 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick116 Rnd4 Blake Corum
You do not let a running back like Blake Corum reach the Round 4 slot and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick148 Rnd5 Christian Jones
A slide stopped in the 148th pick, with Christian Jones worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick175 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen at pick 175 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick196 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers in slot 196 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing at the 235th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick252 Rnd7 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
A conviction pick on Eyabi Okie-Anoma at the 252nd overall pick that the board grades a round light. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
